Description from the seller

Brusk (DMV) – "Pantomime" – Hand-Signed Limited Edition Silkscreen, Gallery Stamp, Professionally Framed

Brusk is a world-renowned French street artist, born in 1976 in Lyon. He discovered street art in the 1990s and made his first graffiti at Lyon's Part-Dieu station, before going on to study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Saint-Étienne. In 2006, he joined DMV (Da Mental Vaporz), one of Europe's most celebrated street art collectives, working alongside artists including Dran, Gris1, Jaw, and Lek & Sowat, and exhibiting internationally from London to Melbourne to Tel Aviv.

Today, Brusk stands as a reference point in street art and contemporary art, alongside names such as Banksy, Vhils, JR, Invader, Pantone, Orlinski, JonOne, Kaws, Faile, Martin Whatson, Pez, Shepard Fairey, Sandra Chevrier, Dran, C215, FinDac, and Seth. His work is exhibited around the world, and he is one of the most popular and sought-after French street artists working today. In October 2019, one of his paintings sold in Paris for over €35,000.

Brusk works across a wide range of media including video, photography, canvas, textiles, 3D, furniture, and packaging design, moving fluidly between figurative, abstract, realist, and graphic styles. He's best known for his mastery of "dripping," a distinctive technique that gives his work a melting, trickling quality, perfectly represented in this piece.

"Pantomime" takes ecology and the preservation of our natural environment as its subject which is a peacock rendered half-solid, half-dissolving, its jewel-toned tail cascading and pooling into a vivid splash of colour on the ground beneath it, as though the bird itself is melting away. It's a striking, characteristically graffiti influenced image that speaks to fragility and loss within the natural world.
