Louis Dourand - Eternal Icons, Pikachu

The work transforms an icon of visual culture into a figure suspended between reality and imagination.
Through a dotted and luminous language, the subject emerges from the darkness like a constellation, evoking the idea of a timeless symbol, at the border between the earthly and the cosmic.
The choice to reduce the form to flickers and particles creates a thinning effect that pushes the viewer to reflect on the role of images in the collective imagination: from simple figures of consumption they become universal emblems, laden with memory and suggestions.
A dialogue between pop and transcendence emerges, where the lightness of the icon joins the depth of myth, transforming it into a luminous presence, familiar and at the same time distant, almost celestial.

This new work arises from the creativity of French artist Louis Dourand, known for having collaborated in the past with Santicri, in an artistic dialogue that has fused different visual languages into a shared expressive vision.
Santicri – with whom Louis Dourand has collaborated on several occasions – is one of the most established contemporary artists on the international scene.
He has displayed his works in prestigious contexts such as Palazzo Grillo in Genoa in 2022 and the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York in 2023.
In 2024 he was recognized among the Best-Selling Artists by Artmayeur and entered the top 3 of the most sought-after artists on Catawiki, alongside names such as Kaws and Banksy.
