Original work
This piece sits firmly within the world of contemporary graffiti, featuring layering, drips, and spontaneous gestures. The artist develops here a dynamic composition blending abstraction and urban writing, in a vivid and contrasting palette.
The different layers of paint and the textured effects convey an instinctive approach inherited from street art, while being embedded in a more durable pictorial pursuit on canvas.
Expressive and decorative work, typical of current explorations around contemporary urban abstraction.
Good overall condition.
Careful shipment with appropriate protection.

Shong is a French artist from the graffiti scene, active for over a decade. From Le Havre, he started with tagging before gradually establishing himself in the graffiti milieu, developing a personal style marked by energetic gesture and expressiveness of line.
Very active in the 2000s within the local urban scene, he then evolved toward canvas work to preserve a practice that is inherently ephemeral. His first works on durable supports appeared around 2012-2013.
His work, influenced by graffiti and gestural abstraction, is characterized by free-form compositions, a strong use of color, and a constant search for balance between spontaneity and construction.
