WXYZ (1980) – “322-1” Original bronze sculpture entirely produced under the artist’s direction and involvement throughout the different stages of the traditional bronze-making process. WXYZ personally oversaw and participated in the successive stages of production, from the moulding of the original prototype and the creation of the wax model to the bronze casting and final chasing of the piece. This hands-on approach allows the artist to remain closely involved in the transformation of his original sculpture into bronze. Rather than applying a traditional patina, WXYZ deliberately chose to preserve the raw foundry appearance of the bronze. The surface retains its natural golden tones, subtle variations and traces of the casting and finishing process. This choice emphasizes the material itself and gives the sculpture a deliberately direct, almost industrial character, echoing the artist’s fascination with urban surfaces, traces and imperfections. Dimensions: 4 × 2.2 × 1 cm Material: Bronze Technique: Moulding, wax model, bronze casting and chasing Finish: Raw bronze, intentionally left unpatinated Year: 2026 The 322-1, an emblematic figure in WXYZ’s work, emerged from his transition from graffiti to sculpture. It translates his graphic language into three dimensions while reflecting his interest in urban materials and their imperfections. Its name refers to Article 322-1 of the French Penal Code concerning damage to property, a direct nod to the artist’s roots in graffiti.
