Description of the work:
Iconic piece of 20th-century expressionism, Bernard Buffet’s sad clown embodies a deep tension between appearance and emotion, between a fixed facade and a melancholic interiority.
With Sad Clown VS Funny Faces, this iconic figure is reinterpreted as a mosaic, composed exclusively of faces captured in exaggerated, almost absurd expressions.
Each fragment reveals grimaces, forced laughter, intentional distortions — countless micro-scenes where emotion becomes performance.
When assembled, these images recompose the clown’s face, reinforcing the work’s central paradox: a sadness built from expressions meant to evoke laughter.
The grotesque becomes the raw material for a deeper melancholy.
Printed on plexiglass, the work reveals its full visual richness: depth of contrasts, brilliance of details, and a contemporary presence that engages with the graphic rigor of the original.
From a distance: the austere, recognizable silhouette of a frozen, almost silent clown.
Up close: a multitude of distorted faces, oscillating between humor and discomfort, revealing a constant tension between laughter and emotional emptiness.
Each piece is a signed and numbered artwork, produced in a limited edition, affirming its exclusivity and artistic significance.
