INFORMATION:
February 24, 2023 marked the somber first anniversary of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict.

To celebrate this date, the Ukrainian post Ukrposhta presented a special stamp and postcard illustrating the mural by British artist Banksy on a bombed building and painted on the wall of a destroyed house in Borodyanka, Kyiv.

The illustration depicts a boy dressed as a judoka pinning down an older man resembling Vladimir Putin, especially known for his high level of practice in this martial art.

A visual metaphor highlighting the strength and determination of Ukraine and its people to oppose its oppressors, even if they are larger and more armed.

On the left side of the postcard is the inscription "FCK PTN!" (i.e., "Fuck Putin"), and on the lower right side, the @Banksy logo.

BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST
Lyssandre Saint York,
Designer and artist born in the 1970s.
My artistic work sits at the crossroads of two worlds that fascinate me: the raw energy of street art and the visual efficiency of pop art.

I grew up during the rise of the seventies style and Space Age design, a time of rupture where furniture rejected pre-war sobriety in favor of organic shapes, plastic, and vibrant colors.
Influenced by this bold aesthetic, I naturally began in design and fashion, conceiving and selling concepts worldwide for over 30 years up to today.

This mastery of structure and visual impact later unfolds in my artistic creations. My path as an artist began with the prism of play, composing my first works in Lego bricks under glass. This artistic approach allowed me to revisit great pop culture icons. From Star Wars heroes to indispensable figures like Mario Bros, Mickey, or the iconic Scrooge, blending luxury-brand symbols with these Lego characters, icons of an entire generation! I have always enjoyed appropriating these symbols to give them a new dimension.

This work naturally extended to creating sculptures with Banksy’s rebellious graffiti environment, or iconic Art Toy characters.
By altering these sculptures and these iconic figures, I play with contrasts to question our desires and our consumer society.

This conceptual rigor dialogues with the absolute freedom of urban culture. Markers, spray paint, stencils, painting, drips, and textured overlays, as well as other techniques I merge with the chromatic power of pop art.

My works have thus become a visual collision where the anticonformist design of the 70s meets luxury, encountering the subversive spontaneity of the street.
By juxtaposing and reinventing these collective and cult icons with a graphic and instinctive aesthetic, I offer a reading that is nostalgic yet double-edged, impactful and resolutely contemporary of our time with sociocultural themes and minimalist conceptual illustration.

From Paris to New York, through Taiwan or even Australia, my works travel the world thanks to you, and I thank you for that.
