SONA (1989) - Custom chair (Urban Collection) 10/15

The Artist: SONA

Originating from Paris, SONA is a committed artist whose creative essence draws its roots from the pure subversion of the underground graffiti movement, having honed his first skills in the arteries of the Paris métro.
Over the years, SONA has built a prolific and radical body of work, passionately pushing the boundaries of urban expression. His singular aesthetics and audacious vision quickly elevated him to the rank of an indispensable figure on the contemporary scene.
Deeply anchored in artistic activism, SONA orchestrates striking 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 fight against the growing dominance of artificial intelligence in the art world.
Beyond his solo achievements, SONA is an active member of the avant-garde collective NBZ (Our Beautiful Zone), a hub of artists elevating street art to the level of a true societal mirror.
Represented by prestigious galleries in France and Belgium, his work has managed to charm and conquer collectors around the world.

This sculptural creation demonstrates a flawless mastery of mixed media techniques. It captures the pure essence of urban graffiti to stand as a true manifesto against capitalist appropriation and AI.
