AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In "Love You Cats", Chanoir brings together several iterations of his emblematic character “CHA” in a lush, bustling composition, where feline figures mingle with inscriptions and graphic signs. Executed with white chalk on a black background, the work plays on the contrast of vivid colors and the spontaneity of the line, recalling the energy of drawing directly on walls. The work on paper offers here a more intimate and direct approach to his practice. A unique piece that concentrates all the freedom and mischief of Chanoir’s universe, in a format accessible to collectors.

· Unique and original work on black-colored paper;
· Signed, titled and dated on the front;
· Framed under glass, framed size 50 x 40 cm;
· Very careful packaging;
· Insured and tracked shipment;
· If you reside in the Paris region, you can come pick up the work directly at our gallery located in the 11th arrondissement.

About the artist:
Born in 1976 in Bogotá, Chanoir (Alberto Vejarano) is a Franco-Colombian artist who graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris, where he studied with Jean-Michel Alberola. As early as 1996, he developed in the street his feline character “CHA,” which became his signature.
Between graffiti, Pop Art and Figuration libre, his graphic universe, nourished by popular culture and cartoons, is distinguished by its bright colors and simplified forms.
Founder of the 1980 collective in Barcelona, he participated in 2009 in the Né dans la rue exhibition at the Fondation Cartier. Knight of the Arts and Letters in 2019, he joined the collections of the Deji Art Museum in China in 2023. Thirty years after his beginnings, Chanoir remains active in the street as well as on the international art scene.

Chanoir is part of the street art movement, alongside artists like Vhils, Invader, Shepard Fairey, JonOne, Kaws, Futura.
