Description from the seller
JACE – Gouzou on a bulletproof vest (2020) | Unique piece
A singular and striking work by JACE, a leading figure on the contemporary urban scene from Le Havre.
Created in 2020 on commission, this unique piece reappropriates an authentic bulletproof vest to become a powerful artistic support. At the center, the famous Gouzou — the artist’s emblematic figure — is embedded in a composition marked by stylized impacts, playing with the tension between protection, violence and humor.
The work stands out for its contrast: the roughness of the object, loaded with reality and history, confronts the graphic, almost playful world of Gouzou. This dialogue creates a strong reading, both aesthetic and symbolic, where engagement, irony, and a critical look at the mechanisms of defense and confrontation intersect.
Presented in a display case, it gains a museum-like dimension, ready to join a demanding collection of urban or contemporary art.

Artist: JACE
Year: 2020 (commission)
Technique: painting on authentic bulletproof vest

A unique piece filled with meaning, at the crossroads of the real object and artistic expression, destined for collectors sensitive to engaged urban art.
