Wags - Entre Deux Mondes - Summer Light Series

Suspended between light and silence, she seems to have found a place where time ceases to exist. Under the surface, movements slow down, thoughts become lighter, and the world's clamor fades away. An invitation to hold one's breath for a few moments... and to savor the fragile beauty of the present moment.

About the Summer Light series: This series of contemporary figurative paintings where light becomes the true subject. Through sun-drenched swimming pools, pristine diving boards and elegant silhouettes, Wags celebrates the simplicity of summer, the sweetness of living, and the evocative power of reflections. Inspired by Mediterranean aesthetics and contemporary photography, each work invites the viewer to extend this fragile moment when time seems suspended.

Biography:

Wags, born in Paris in 1970, embodies the path of a polymorphic artist whose creativity has unfolded from electronic music to contemporary graphic art. Coming from a family where art was already present thanks to his father, a draftsman, Wags discovered at a very young age his first passion, music creation. This passion guided him in his youth, and his early talents led him to make a bold decision: invest the money intended to fund his higher education to invest in creating his first album. Distributed by EMI, the album did not achieve the expected success, but it marked the outset of a rich artistic career full of experimentation.

Alongside his musical career, Wags entered the world of advertising as a copywriter/designer for the iconic magazine Playboy. For many years, he put his creativity at the service of the publication, creating and producing the magazine's advertising campaigns.

The turning point in his career came in 2005 when he became a cinematographer, thus exploring a new facet of the visual world. In 2007, he discovered a passion for photography, adding yet another artistic string to his bow. In 2010, he successfully founded his own photo 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 art creation, Wags stands out with over 3000 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 an atmosphere and treatment of light that are familiar to them.
