AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Parisian gallery CHENUS LONGHI presents “Under Surveillance,” an original work by Levalet created in 2026, combining acrylic on cut wood with an assemblage on an old phonograph box.
A character attempts to listen to a vinyl record using a stethoscope, in a scene that playfully explores the title’s double meaning: listening to music and surveillance.
Here, Levalet repurposes an antique object as the setting for a three-dimensional vignette, in which the absurd comes into its own. An inventive piece, characteristic of his humor and his fondness for objects steeped in history.
· Original work, signed on the front and signed and dated on the back;
· Size: 50 × 30 × 5 cm.
· Comes with its certificate of authenticity;
· Carefully packaged;
· Shipped insured and with tracking;
· If you live in the Paris region, you can collect the artwork directly from our gallery in the 11th arrondissement.
About the artist:
Levalet is a French artist born in Épinal and raised in Guadeloupe. Trained in visual arts in Strasbourg, he began creating works in the streets of Paris in 2012, using ink-drawn figure collages that play with architecture and street furniture. His work stands out for its narrative approach, blending 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 carries forward the spirit of his site-specific interventions, always with a social message that places human beings at the center of its questions.
Levalet is part of the street art movement, alongside artists such as Vhils, Invader, Shepard Fairey, JonOne, Kaws, and Futura.
