Yann Argentin (1971) - Stoner street

Yann Argentin in 1971
stoner street portrays a crowd of passers-by backlit beneath a metal structure framed by signs “Restaurant”, “Cocktails” and several “PARK” panels, as well as a pedestrian signal “DON'T WALK”. The strongly marked diagonal of the metal structure structures the entire composition, and the very pronounced chiaroscuro reduces the figures to dark silhouettes cutting through the street light.

Yann Argentin fully aligns with the contemporary figurative movement with this impression of great aesthetic finesse. The work bears witness to a remarkable compositional craft where mastery of nuances creates a captivating visual dialogue.

The expressive force of the whole and the delicacy of the execution endow this piece with a remarkable presence. It is an ideal acquisition opportunity to enrich a discerning collection or to elevate a modern interior.
