AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
SKIO - Untitled - 2024 - Live Painting
Artist: SKIO
Title: Untitled
Year: 2024
Technique: Aerosol painting on canvas
Dimensions: 200 x 150 cm
Realisation: Work created through live painting in 2024
Authenticity: Original and unique work
Description of the work
With this monumental piece created through live painting in 2024, SKIO plunges us into his singular artistic universe, where photorealism meets the codes of urban art and contemporary painting.
At the center of the composition, a female face with delicate features emerges from a misty and almost unreal atmosphere. The head slightly tilted back, the eyes hidden behind a hand gracefully resting on the forehead, the model seems suspended in a moment of contemplation and abandonment.
The treatment of the face is particularly remarkable. The shades of gray, white and black reveal a great mastery of aerosol painting, allowing the artist to render volume, shadows and plays of light with finesse.
This almost photorealistic approach contrasts with an abstract environment composed of layered materials, drips and colored brushstrokes. The deep blues, purples and reds energize the composition while preserving its mysterious and poetic atmosphere.
The partial disappearance of the face in the painting, a hallmark of SKIO’s artistic language, creates a subtle dialogue between appearance and erosion, realism and abstraction.
Created live in front of an audience, this work retains the spontaneity and energy inherent to live painting. This characteristic gives it an additional dimension, bearing witness to SKIO’s ability to produce an ambitious composition within an artistic performance.
With its spectacular dimensions of 200 x 150 cm, this painting possesses an exceptional visual presence. A powerful, elegant and decidedly contemporary work, ideal for a collection of urban art or a space of large scale.
About the artist
SKIO is a French artist from the graffiti culture, recognized for his work at the crossroads of street art, photorealism and abstraction.
His pictorial universe is characterized by feminine portraits imbued with mystery, often partially hidden by geometric shapes, transparency effects or abstract interventions.
Mastery of aerosol painting plays a central role in his practice, allowing him to combine drawing precision, smooth gradient transitions and spontaneity of gesture.
His work explores notions of identity, perception and representation, in a contemporary aesthetic instantly recognizable.
Shipment and in-person pickup
Given its large dimensions, this work can be collected in person.
Local pickup is particularly recommended for buyers who wish to mount the canvas on a stretcher and have it framed. NO SHIPMENT ON STRETCHER
In this case, a mounting on a stretcher and framing solution can be discussed with the buyer before pickup.
For buyers preferring shipment, the canvas will be sent rolled, without a stretcher, in a protective tube suitable for its large format.
It can then be re-mounted on a stretcher and framed by a professional.
Professional shipping with careful packaging to ensure optimal protection during transport.
