AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Parisian gallery CHENUS LONGHI presents “Esprit refuge,” an original work by DAWAL, created in acrylic on a vintage 1918 postcard and displayed in a small frame under glass with a wooden moulding.
The artist depicts a face sheltered inside a small blue house, whose architecture seems to extend the figure itself. This unusual image evokes the need for protection and the creation of an inner space, both physical and mental. By painting directly on a handwritten correspondence more than a century old, DAWAL combines his surrealist imagination with the intimate history of an antique document.
· Framed under glass, 20.5 x 15.5 cm, with a mat;
· Comes with a 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:
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 got his start in abandoned spaces around Lille.
Passionate about drawing, comics and surrealism, he has developed a richly imaginative narrative world populated by strange characters, imaginary architecture and fantastical creatures. His work is distinguished by its delicate linework, mastery of shadows and volume, and a wealth of details that invite multiple interpretations.
Equally at ease 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.
