Description of the work

Yes, ArtHugo dared cardboard.

LA VIE EN ROSE arose from a desire to move away from traditional supports and to remind that in art, the support can also become part of the artwork’s history.

On this deliberately visible cardboard, ArtHugo blasts pink and blue around an iconic figure of popular culture. The words LOVE, ROMANCE, FEELING, TENDERNESS and the phrase "Love is the force that connects the world" construct an intentionally optimistic, tender, and quirky universe.

The contrast between rough cardboard, a simple, everyday material, and the very intense pop colors gives the piece its full personality.

This work is part of a series of only two creations designed as opposites: LA VIE EN ROSE and LA VIE EN NOIR. Two visions, two atmospheres, two readings of the same world.

An impulsive, intentionally atypical work, characteristic of ArtHugo’s philosophy: art can be born on any support.

Original and unique 1/1, fully handmade and sold framed.

About the artist

Hugo de Jesus Alves, nicknamed ArtHugo, is a self-taught Belgian artist born in 1975 and creator of the Neo Pop Color universe, blending pop art, popular culture, street art, vibrant colors, and positive messages.

His principle: no support should limit creation. Canvases, cardboard, sculptures, helmets, skateboards, guitars or iconic objects all become fields of expression.

His work has been shown in Belgium and internationally, notably in Knokke, Brussels, Budapest, Vienna and Dubai. He has also created pieces related to the worlds of Formula E, Formula 1 and professional cycling.

His career has been featured in numerous press appearances, on television and radio. Photographs and articles accompanying this sale help to discover the artist behind the works.

His objective: to create living, accessible art that is immediately recognizable, capable of conveying emotion even before it is explained.

Seller's Story

ART HUGO — POP ART WITHOUT LIMITS I don’t just paint on canvases. I paint on anything that can tell a story. Hugo de Jesus Alves, aka ArtHugo, is a self-taught Belgian artist born in 1975, creator of a universe he calls Neo Pop Color. His work is a collision between pop art, street art, comics, popular culture, explosive colors, humor and hidden messages. His works attract first with their energy; then, as you get closer, the words, details, references and a second reading appear. But ArtHugo refuses to limit art to a canvas. Skateboards, helmets, monumental sculptures, guitars, forgotten objects or unexpected supports: anything can become a work. An ordinary object can completely change its value and story as soon as you dare to look at it differently. This freedom has led him to present his work in Belgium and internationally, notably in Knokke, Brussels, Budapest, Vienna and Dubai, but also to create pieces related to the worlds of Formula 1, Formula E and professional cycling. His journey and his creations have also been covered by various media, television, radio and Belgian press titles. On CataWiki, ArtHugo directly offers a selection of his works: original pieces, 1/1 unique works and limited series coming directly from his studio in Belgium, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Behind each work lies the same philosophy: Art should not only be looked at. It must provoke something. Welcome to the ArtHugo universe – Neo Pop Color. LET’S POP IT UP!
