Yann Leto (1979) - Sin título

A true jewel from my private collection by the famous artist Yann Lito. Yann Leto (France, b. 1979) – Large-format diptych (164 x 160 cm), Oil on canvas (2011)
Untitled (Carnival Scene / Social Critique)
Year: 2011 (Dated in the margin)
Technique: Oil on canvas
Overall dimensions: approx. 164 x 160 cm (Diptych format / two pieces)
Features a workshop technical inscription and inventory handwritten in the lower right margin: "Leto 11" (artist's original cataloging code: 2701.11)
Magnificent and bold large-format oil painting by the renowned contemporary artist Yann Leto. The piece is a perfect example of his highly personal universe aligned with figurative expressionism and social satire. Through a coral composition overflowing with theatricality, chaos, and dark humor, the artist uses masks and imagery from popular culture (including the handwritten inscription "Elisa Coli" on one of the characters) to present a raw critique of mass society. A work with extraordinary visual impact, ideal for collectors of international contemporary art.
Condition: to restore / No stretcher.
Details: The work was originally presented divided into two loose canvases (a diptych). It is currently dismantled from its wooden frame, so the canvases show surface creases typical of storage and fixation marks on the white margins.
The painting requires a simple stretching and mounting process on two wooden stretchers to display in all its splendor.

Yann Leto [Bordeaux, 1979], French artist living in Spain. He has worked with major galleries, exhibiting at numerous Contemporary Art fairs. His work is in collections such as the San Francisco MOMA, the Benetton Foundation, or CAC Málaga. His main medium is painting but he also works with installation. His painting is dense, detailed, and has a clear critical undertone, functioning like a collage where several typographic elements coexist with classical and modern elements. He is currently preparing his first solo exhibition in the USA, and working on a large-scale work, precisely the largest painting by Spanish painting planned for 2015 and titled Mother of all battles.
