AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Parisian gallery CHENUS LONGHI presents “Inner Spring,” an original work by DAWAL, created in acrylic on an old postcard and displayed in a lovely wooden frame with glass.
On this history-laden surface, DAWAL depicts an enigmatic figure whose face opens onto a space filled with white flowers. The title suggests an inner renewal, a kind of blossoming of the imagination. The contrast between the portrait’s red tones, the geometric pattern, and the postcard’s handwritten inscriptions heightens the strangeness of this composition, in which the artist blends contemporary painting with traces of the past.
· Framed size: 20.5 x 15.5 cm, with a mat;
· Comes with a 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:
Born in Tours in 1994, Dawal is a painter and muralist based in Paris. Trained as an engineer, he discovered graffiti through hip-hop culture and cut his teeth in Lille’s abandoned industrial sites.
Passionate about drawing, comics, and surrealism, he has developed a richly layered narrative world populated by strange characters, imaginary architecture, and fantastical creatures. His work is distinguished by its delicate linework, mastery of light, shadow, and form, and an abundance of details that invite multiple interpretations.
Equally at home on canvas and on monumental murals, he regularly exhibits at the Artistik Rezo gallery in Paris.
Dawal is part of the street art movement, alongside artists such as Vhils, Invader, Shepard Fairey, JonOne, Kaws, and Futura.
