AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Parisian gallery CHENUS LONGHI presents “Territoire,” an original work by Levalet, created in 2026, in which he used acrylic paint over collage on a small wooden panel.
On a reassembled map of Europe, four holidaymakers enjoy an unlikely swim in the middle of a continent transformed into one giant swimming pool. From the Alps to the Mediterranean coast, territories become nothing more than a playground, while the abandoned objects evoke traces of our passage.
Behind the scene’s humor and apparent lightness, Levalet draws attention to the consequences of careless mass tourism, which consumes landscapes without concern for their preservation. It is an environmental critique that is as playful as it is biting, true to his perspective on the contradictions of our society.

About the artist:
Levalet is a French artist born in Épinal and raised in Guadeloupe. After studying visual arts in Strasbourg, he began intervening in the streets of Paris in 2012 with ink-drawn figure collages that play with architecture and street furniture. His work is distinguished by a narrative approach combining humor, incongruity, and staging, drawing on theater and video. He quickly gained international recognition and began exhibiting in galleries in 2013, continuing his explorations through installations and works on wood, concrete, canvas, and reclaimed materials. Now based in Reims, he explores the relationships between the body, urban space, and nature in a practice that extends the spirit of his in situ interventions, always conveying a social message that places human beings at the center of its concerns.
Levalet is part of the street art movement, alongside artists such as Vhils, Invader, Shepard Fairey, JonOne, Kaws, and Futura.
