Description from the seller
LÉTHÉ - The Forgetting of Apollo - Mixed media on canvas
Mixed media, acrylic painting · pigmented ink · Hand-signed · 2026
Under the surface, a head of Apollo drifts slowly in the blue. The marble keeps its perfection — sculpted curls like frozen foam, lowered eyelids, mouth closed — but the god sinks, abandoned to the waters. Around him, a swarm of red fish circles in silence, the only living embers in the cold vastness; their incandescent orange strikes the deep blue with the violence of a memory resurfacing. At the very top, light breaks on the surface in white shards, a promise of a world already distant. That is the whole tension of the work: the eternal stone made perishable, ancient beauty delivered to oblivion, and this tiny, vibrant life that continues to circle around it. A contemporary vanity, submerged in the river Lethe.
Technique: mixed media — acrylic painting on pigment-ink print, matte varnish.
Varnish applied by hand, to deepen the blues and provide lasting protection for the work.
Support: premium canvas stretched on a wooden frame, ready to hang.
Format: 40 × 40 cm.
Signed LÉTHÉ · Galerie Labo Joconde / Atelier Joconde · certificate of authenticity provided.
LÉTHÉ is one of the creations uniting the artists Le Yack, Neo Pablo and Popsan within Atelier Joconde, a family studio where three sensibilities coexist: neo-realism, pop, and free figuration. Under the name LÉTHÉ, from the name of the river of forgetfulness in Greek Hell, the Studio plunges figures of Antiquity into water and memory: submerged marbles, underwater lights, impasto and chiaroscuro.
LÉTHÉ gathers gods, muses and antique busts captured at the moment they fade, swallowed, eroded, and crossed by the living. The through-line: a dialogue between classical sculpture and a contemporary gaze, between what was meant to last forever and what time carries away, where the pictorial matter enhances and transfigures the printed image.
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.
