SONA (1989) - Custom chair (Urban Collection) 4/15

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 first weapons in the arteries of the Paris metro.
Over the years, SONA has built a prolific and radical body of work, fearlessly pushing the boundaries of urban expression. His singular aesthetic and bold vision quickly elevated him to a key figure on the contemporary scene.
Deeply anchored in artistic activism, SONA orchestrates impactful urban interventions. His work questions established dogmas and denounces the excesses of contemporary capitalism. His art, resolutely subversive, claims 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 work, SONA is an active member of the avant-garde collective NBZ (Notre Belle Zone), a breeding ground of artists elevating street art to the status of a true societal mirror.
Represented by prestigious galleries in France and Belgium, his work has won over and captivated collectors around the world.

The Work: Custom chair

This sculptural creation demonstrates masterful use of mixed techniques. It captures the pure essence of urban graffiti to stand as a true manifesto against capitalist appropriation of street codes by artificial intelligence. Where the machine generates meaningless images for mercantile aims, it celebrates the human gesture. It glorifies the unique texture of a hand-crafted work, charged with authenticity and lived experience that only the artist can transmit.
