Shong – Flop Shong (circa 2018)
Mixed media: spray paint and acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 80 x 80 cm
Original work
This piece is fully embedded in the world of contemporary graffiti, with layering, drips, and spontaneous gestures. The artist develops a dynamic composition that blends abstraction and urban writing, in a vivid and contrasting palette.
The different paint strata and textural effects convey an instinctive approach inherited from street art, while remaining part of a more durable pictorial process 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 starts with tagging before progressively establishing himself in the graffiti milieu, developing a personal style marked by the energy of gesture and expressiveness of line.
Very active in the 2000s within the local urban scene, he later shifts toward canvas work to sustain a practice that is inherently ephemeral. His early works on durable support appear around 2012-2013.
His work, influenced by graffiti and gestural abstraction, is characterized by free compositions, a marked use of color, and a constant search for balance between spontaneity and construction.
