The Artist: SONA

Based in Paris, SONA is a committed artist whose creative essence draws from the pure subversion of the underground graffiti movement, having forged his first tools in the arteries of the Paris metro.
Over the years, SONA has built a prolific and radical body of work, passionately pushing the boundaries of urban expression.
His distinctive aesthetic and bold vision quickly elevated him to the rank of a key figure in the contemporary scene.
Deeply rooted in artistic activism, SONA orchestrates striking urban interventions. His work questions established dogmas and denounces the excesses of contemporary capitalism. His art, resolutely subversive, proclaims an absolute freedom of expression in the face of surveillance society. He is today waging a fierce fight against the growing dominance of artificial intelligence in the art world.
Beyond his solo achievements, SONA is an active member of the avant-garde collective NBZ (Our Beautiful Zone), a breeding ground of artists elevating urban art to the status of a true societal mirror.
Represented by prestigious galleries in France and Belgium, his work has attracted and won over collectors around the world.

The Work: Custom chair

The centerpiece of the "Urban Collection," Custom chair is an original and impactful work that elevates the very tool of transgression. This approach offers a fresh, aesthetic perspective on a historically controversial practice.
This sculptural creation demonstrates a flawless mastery of mixed techniques. It captures the pure essence of urban graffiti to stand as a true manifesto against the capitalist appropriation of street codes by artificial intelligence. Where the machine generates meaningless images for mercantile ends, it celebrates the human gesture. It glorifies the unique texture of a hand-crafted work, rich with authenticity and lived experience that only the artist can convey.
