Description from the seller
Original unique work created in acrylic on canvas.
Born in 1987 in northern France, Antoine Stevens discovered graffiti during his adolescence before developing a studio painting practice from 2005. His artistic universe lies at the crossroads of street art and contemporary figurative portraiture. Through a free gestural approach, layers of material, controlled drips and graphic interventions, he composes portraits of great emotional intensity where realism and abstraction meet. His work is today presented in several galleries in France and internationally.
With Maia, Antoine Stevens delivers a striking female portrait where the softness of the features contrasts with the energy of the painterly gesture. The face gradually emerges from the canvas, bathed in shades of blue, pink, white and ochre that seem to blend into the material. Long vertical drips, splashes and graphic interventions add depth and spontaneity to the composition.
The gaze, both intense and melancholic, is the anchor of the work. The effects of transparency and color overlays create an almost dreamlike atmosphere, characteristic of Antoine Stevens’s work. Between classic portrait and contemporary abstraction, Maia testifies to the artist’s technical mastery and his ability to convey an immediate emotion.
