AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Cosmo Bear stages an astronaut suspended from a heart-shaped balloon, accompanied by his/her bear: a simple, immediate image with a deeply symbolic core. The work evokes the aesthetics of urban stencil art popularized by Banksy, while being entirely hand-made, with no print or reproduction.
The black-on-white contrast gives a strong, graphic presence; up close, the irregularities of the paint and the texture of the canvas reveal the gesture. A contemporary piece, poetic and highly legible, designed to create a focal point in an interior.
Stylistic reference to contemporary urban art, with no connection or affiliation to Banksy.
Signed on the back by "Popléa" and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
The canvas is sold rolled, not mounted on a frame.
The frame is not included and is only a presentation suggestion.
The artist Popléa:
If you own this artwork, you have in your hands an authentic piece signed by Popléa.
But you should know: Popléa is a pseudonym.
He or she has not yet revealed their identity — intentionally. This choice is part of a broader artistic project, a form of experiment:
Create without a name, without status, without biography.
The artwork alone. The image alone. What it evokes. What you feel.
The artist behind Popléa is already exhibited, recognized, collected — but they wanted to explore another path, freer. Refuse filters, codes, discourses.
Refuse that it’s always the same — galleries, experts, networks — who decide what has value.
Perhaps what you own is the beginning of something.
Or perhaps it is simply a work that speaks to you, here and now.
Both options are beautiful.
And deep down, perhaps that is the true luxury.
The work is hand-signed, delivered ready to hang, in 4x4 packaging with insured shipping included.
Happy bidding
