Description from the seller
Antoine Stevens (1987)
Cleo
2024
Original unique work created in acrylic on canvas.
Born in 1987 in the north of France, Antoine Stevens discovers graffiti during his adolescence before developing a studio painting practice from 2005. His universe sits at the crossroads of street art and contemporary figurative portraiture. His work is immediately recognizable by the fusion between a realistic mastery of the face and a free gestural style inspired by urban art, mixing drips, material layering and graphic interventions. Today, his works are presented in several galleries in France and internationally.
With Cleo, Antoine Stevens delivers a contemporary portrait of great intensity. The face seems to emerge from the canvas through a subtle play of transparencies, projections and colorful veils. The nuances of blue, pink, ochre and black blend harmoniously to create an atmosphere that is both soft and vibrant.
The gaze, particularly expressive, immediately captures attention while certain parts of the portrait are deliberately dissolved into the material. This constant tension between drawing precision and gesture freedom is one of the artist's most emblematic signatures. Between abstraction and figuration, Cleo offers a sensitive reading where emotion takes precedence over representation.
