Description from the seller
SACHA LYS - Study for a Young Englishman - Mixed media on canvas
Mixed media, acrylic painting, pigment ink · Hand-signed · 2026
Atelier Academy: a young adult man, bare chest, seated against a brushed grey-mauve wall. A black velvet drape covers the legs, a sleeve of white gauze slides along the left arm. Coppery curls, narrow shoulders, pronounced collarbones, gaze raised, at once haughty and absent.
Spare counterpoint of Chapter I: no more mosaic, no more gold, no more pattern. The background is a simple wall painted in glaze; the skin becomes the sole subject. The same chalky complexion, the same coral lips, the same heavy eyelids as in portraits of couples — the hand is recognizable, the setting has disappeared. Three materials respond to each other: matte black velvet, the crumpled gauze that catches the light, and the smooth skin treated with fine glazes.
Vertical format, three-quarter figure, soft frontal lighting with no cast shadow. Academic register, sober restraint.
Technical mix: acrylic painting on pigment-ink print, matte varnish.
Varnish applied by hand, for the depth of color and lasting protection of the work.
Support: premium canvas stretched on a wooden frame, ready to hang.
Format: to be specified.
Signed SACHA LYS · Galerie Labo Joconde / Atelier Joconde · certificate of authenticity provided.
SACHA LYS is one of the creations bringing together the artists Le Yack, Neo Pablo and Popsan within Atelier Joconde, a family studio where three sensibilities coexist: neo-realism, pop, and libre figuration. Under the name BOLEROL, the Atelier explores stylized nudity in the spirit of Mexican modernity: monochrome bodies in saturated flat tones, solid and sculptural forms, backgrounds of pure color, and the grave serenity of faces.
SACHA LYS gathers an intimate portrait gallery: elongated faces, porcelain skin, coral lips, heavy eyelids, and gazes that slip out of the frame. The universe draws on Europe's cosmopolitan early 20th century — Paris, Vienna, Saint Petersburg — at the crossroads of Modigliani’s mask-like visage and Klimt’s gilded setting, treated here in a muted palette of night blue, teal, ochre, and whites of gauze.
Each work is a unique piece.

Seller's Story
Galerie Joconde est un atelier familial et un laboratoire de création contemporaine, où trois artistes : Le Yack, Popsan et Neo Pablo, croisent leurs univers pour produire des collections originales. Loin d'une simple galerie de vente, c'est un véritable lieu de production où les styles se lient, se confrontent et donnent naissance à de nouveaux mouvements. L'atelier travaille aussi bien en création collective qu'en démarches individuelles : chaque œuvre proposée peut être le fruit du travail d'un, de deux, ou des trois artistes réunis.
Toutes les œuvres proviennent directement de l'atelier des artistes, sans intermédiaire. Les originaux sont des pièces uniques. Chaque œuvre est signée et accompagnée d'un certificat d'authenticité, et expédiée avec un emballage professionnel adapté au transport international.
