AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Paris gallery CHENUS LONGHI presents "Sans queue ni tête", an original painting by Popay created especially for Urban Art 360, measuring 30 × 30 cm.
The artist plunges us into one of his imagined urban landscapes, a labyrinthine city where architectures entwine and figures multiply. The composition teems with details, unusual scenes, and abstract motifs that reveal themselves gradually. His atypical palette, dominated by pinks, reds and purples, gives this city an almost unreal atmosphere. A work particularly representative of Popay's vibrant universe and his very personal drawing. And a very small format that is rare in the artist's output, not to be missed!
· Original and unique work on wooden panel;
· Comes with its certificate of authenticity;
· Carefully packaged;
· Shipped with insurance and tracking;
· If you live in the Paris region, you can pick up the artwork directly at our gallery located in the 11th arrondissement.
About the artist:
A historic figure of French graffiti, Popay has been developing since the late 1980s a rich pictorial universe, deeply personal. Long associated with the alternative scene and Parisian artist squats, he built a free graphical language, nourished by drawing, painting and boundless imagination. His figurative work shifted for a while toward abstraction, which continues to permeate his compositions. His portraits, with incredible density of detail, are distinguished by their distortions, interwoven motifs and a color palette as bold as it is unexpected.
today based in the countryside, Popay remains fascinated by urban landscapes, architectures and the imaginary cities that populate his paintings. His work continues to evolve pictorially, never losing its immediately recognizable identity. A true legend.
Popay is part of the street art movement, alongside artists such as Vhils, Invader, Shepard Fairey, JonOne, Kaws, Futura.
