SONA (1989) - Custom chair (Urban Collection) 9/15

The Artist: SONA

Originally from Paris, SONA is an engaged artist whose creative essence draws its roots from the pure subversion of the underground graffiti movement, having forged his first weapons in the arteries of the Paris metro.

Over the years, SONA has built a prolific and radical body of work, passionately pushing the boundaries of urban expression. His singular aesthetic and bold vision quickly elevated him to the status of a key figure on the contemporary scene.

Deeply rooted in artistic activism, SONA orchestrates impactful urban interventions. His work questions established dogmas and denounces the excesses of contemporary capitalism. His art, resolutely subversive, proclaims absolute freedom of expression in the face of a surveillance society. He is currently waging a fierce battle against the growing hegemony of artificial intelligence in the art world.

Beyond his solo work, SONA is an active member of the avant-garde collective NBZ (Notre Belle Zone), a pool of artists elevating urban art to the status of a true societal mirror.

Represented by prestigious galleries in France and Belgium, his work has managed to woo and win collectors around the world.

The Work: Custom chair

The centerpiece of the "Urban Collection", Custom chair is an original and striking work that elevates the very instrument of transgression. This approach offers an unprecedented, aesthetic perspective on a historically controversial practice.

This sculptural creation showcases a perfect mastery of mixed media techniques. It captures the pure essence of urban graffiti to stand as a genuine manifesto against capitalist appropriation and AI. Where machines generate meaningless images for mercantile ends, it celebrates the human gesture. It glorifies the unique texture of a handmade work, imbued with authenticity and a lived experience that only the artist can convey.
