Wags - Luxury Diving Club

Luxury isn’t always where you’d expect it. A mask, a lifebuoy, a marble bathtub... That’s all it takes to blur the lines between reality and escape. An absurd scene, treated with the utmost seriousness.

Biography:

Wags, born in Paris in 1970, embodies the journey of a polymorphic artist whose creativity has unfolded from electronic music to contemporary graphic art. From a family where art was already present through his father, a illustrator, Wags discovers very early his first passion, musical creation. This passion guides him in his youth, and his precocious talents lead him to make a bold decision: to invest the money intended to fund his higher education in creating his first album.

Distributed by EMI, the album did not meet the expected success, but it marked the beginning of an artistic career rich in experimentation.

Parallel to his musical career, Wags entered the world of advertising as a copywriter for the iconic magazine Playboy. For many years, he focused his creativity on the publication by creating and producing the magazine’s advertising campaigns.

The turning point in his career came in 2005 when he became a cameraman, thus exploring a new facet of the visual world. In 2007, he discovered a passion for photography, adding another artistic string to his bow. In 2010, he successfully founded his own photography agency, highlighting his entrepreneurial spirit.

In 2017, Wags made a radical choice to sell his agency to fully embrace graphic art, influenced by his son, who became a major figure in world street art. A pioneer of computer-assisted artistic creation, Wags stands out with more than 3,000 works sold in galleries and online to date.

Wanting to explore new artistic universes, Wags is none other than Kobalt who signs under this pseudonym so as not to interfere with his usual work.

This contemporary figurative painting draws inspiration from classical realism and a modern glamorous aesthetic. Collectors who appreciate the light of Joaquín Sorolla, the mastery of Anders Zorn, the elegance of John Singer Sargent, as well as the worlds of Richard S. Johnson, Pino Daeni, Jack Vettriano, Fabian Perez and Jeremy Lipking, will find in this work a mood and lighting treatment that are familiar to them.
