SONA (1989) - Custom chair (Urban Collection)

The Artist: SONA

Originating from Paris, SONA is a committed artist whose creative essence draws its roots from the pure subversion of the underground graffiti movement, having forged his early tools in the arteries of the Paris metro.
Over the years, SONA has built a prolific and radical body of work, passionately pushing the boundaries of urban expression. His singular aesthetic and bold vision quickly propelled him to the rank of an indispensable figure on the contemporary scene.
Deeply rooted in artistic activism, SONA orchestrates striking urban interventions. His work challenges established dogmas and denounces the excesses of contemporary capitalism. His art, resolutely subversive, asserts absolute freedom of expression in the face of a surveillance society. He is currently waging a fierce battle against the growing hegemony of artificial intelligence in the art world.
Beyond his solo achievements, SONA is an active member of the avant-garde collective NBZ (Our Beautiful Zone), a reservoir of artists elevating urban art to a true societal mirror.
Represented by prestigious galleries in France and Belgium, his work has convinced collectors around the world.

The Work: Custom chair

A centerpiece of the "Urban Collection," Custom chair is an original and impactful work that elevates the very instrument of transgression. This approach offers a novel and aesthetic perspective on a historically controversial practice.
This sculptural creation demonstrates masterful use of mixed media. It captures the pure essence of urban graffiti to stand as a true manifesto against the capitalist appropriation of street codes by artificial intelligence. Where the machine generates meaningless images for mercantile ends, it celebrates the human gesture. It glorifies the unique texture of a hand-made work, charged with authenticity and a lived experience that only the artist can convey.
