Dezache (1990) - Obélix

Dezache (1980) – “Obélix” – 2021

Spray and stencil on old framed painting.
Unique work created in 2021 by the French artist Dezache, blending popular culture with classic painting in a détournement.

In this panoramic composition, the artist directly intervenes on an old landscape depicting a rural scene dominated by a mill, to which he adds the iconic figure of Obélix. This contrast between the traditional aesthetics of old painting and the world of comic books creates a visual offset that is both humorous and contemporary, a signature of Dezache's work.

The richly ornate old frame fully participates in the artwork and enhances its decorative aspect.
