AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Parisian gallery CHENUS LONGHI presents “Charmes lignes,” an original work on canvas by artist Antonin Katre, which comes with its certificate.
This small-format work, very rare in the artist’s output, belongs to a new series developed this year, notably for his exhibition “Lignes en friches,” held at the gallery in spring 2026. Katre transposes his photographs of abandoned places entirely by hand onto genuine technical plans salvaged on site and mounted on canvas; here, the site is the former Babcock factory.
Architectural lines blend with the building’s perspective, while inscriptions in red oil pastel punctuate the composition like fragments of memory. In the monumental works from this series, these annotations take the form of excerpts from his observation notebooks.
An opportunity to discover Katre’s new pictorial approach in a format that is particularly accessible to collectors.
· Original work, signed and dated on the front, and signed and dated on the back;
· Framed in an oak American-style shadow box frame;
· Comes with its certificate of authenticity;
· Carefully packaged;
· Shipped with insurance and tracking;
· If you live in the Paris region, you can collect the work directly from our gallery in the 11th arrondissement.
About the artist:
Katre lives and works in Paris. An urbex specialist, he turns abandoned places into a genuine field of study, photography, and artistic exploration. This immersion provides the raw material for his work, which is further developed through a pictorial practice rooted in graffiti, which he began in the early 1990s.
His works explore the memory of changing urban spaces, combining traces of the past with contemporary writing. Alongside his artistic practice, he is the author of the books Hors du temps (2005) and Hors du temps 2 (2012), which document urban artists’ interventions in abandoned sites.
A major figure on the urban art scene, his career was recently celebrated with the publication of his first monograph by El Visio in 2025, De l’urbex au post-graffiti. He is also about to open an exhibition exploring the world of urbex in early 2027 at the Fluctuart art center, alongside photographer Jonk.
Antonin Katre is part of the street art movement, alongside artists such as Vhils, Invader, Shepard Fairey, JonOne, Kaws, and Futura.
