AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
MonkeyBird: Foreword - 2016
Original silk-screen print on a 65 x 50 cm format. Numbered HC 19/25 and signed in pencil by the Artist.
Magnificent edition, featuring the use of gold metallic ink.
Artwork in good condition, never framed.
We ensure meticulous packaging, international tracking, insurance, and express shipping for all our deliveries.
The numbering may differ from the photos.
--------------------
Created in 2012, the Monkey Bird Crew (MBC) collective is formed by two young artists from Bordeaux, Temor and Blow the Bird (or The Blow). Louis and Edouard, two friends and street artists who work in a single line. Monkeys, birds, landscapes, citadels and symbols are sublimated by the black, white, and gold lines traced by the duo. A philosophical fable that speaks with poetry and sensitivity about humans and the world.
Stencil artists renowned for the precision of their line and the finesse of the cut, entirely handmade, they specialize in representations of metaphysical architectures where the Bird ("Blow") and the Monkey ("Temor") coexist.
Drawing inspiration from geometry, mechanics, cosmology and astronomy treatises, they develop their work using all kinds of media and supports, also employing illumination and calligraphy. Furthermore, they have an obsession with reintroducing animal presence on city walls. These animals, not so different from those found in La Fontaine’s famous fables, slyly remind us of our own human concerns oscillating between the desire for freedom and elevation (symbolized by the Bird) and the material and bodily obsessions from which man cannot free himself (the Monkey).
When they take over the walls of cities (Paris where they live, Lille, Bordeaux but also Amsterdam, New Delhi and several cities in Mexico), they also produce works on various reclaimed materials (wood, metal, glass) and on paper.
Seller's Story
TO KNOW:
Professional gallery for nearly 20 years, we pay particular attention to the works shipped. Each shipment is carried out quickly, with secure and appropriate packaging.
Buyers commit to paying for their purchases within a maximum of 3 days.
For any request to consolidate lots, please do so before payment, via Catawiki, or by email: info@artdif.fr. We can generally group +/- 7 works per parcel from the same sale. Some lots or works of particular formats require adapted shipping. We therefore group as much as possible, but this is in no way an obligation; additional fees related to customs declarations, insurance, and packaging adaptation may be requested from you. The number of required parcels and the shipping costs depend on feasibility.
We do not offer any service beyond what is described or provided by Catawiki.
Regarding multiples (numbered or justified works), unless otherwise stated, the numbering or justification may differ from what is shown in the photo, due to stock management. The shipped copy remains identical in quality, condition, edition, and value.
Upon receipt, please check the parcel and the works in the presence of the carrier. Any damage must be reported immediately and noted with precise reservations on delivery. No claim can be accepted without formal reservations. A visibly damaged package should be refused to enable compensation.
Catawiki remains a platform for exchange among passionate collectors: courtesy and respect are essential. We remain at your disposal and thank you for sending your messages clearly and politely.
Thank you and happy bidding!
