AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Paris gallery CHENUS LONGHI presents “The Black Angel of Paris,” an original work by Mathieu 1976 combining aerosol, alcohol-based marker, acrylic, 14B charcoal pencil, and oil pastel on a UV-printed canvas base, measuring 65 × 54 cm.
With its wings spread, its arms covered in tattoos, and the Eiffel Tower held close to its chest, this cherub perfectly embodies the duality dear to Mathieu 1976. The innocence of childhood clashes with street codes in a portrait where tenderness meets a certain insolence.
The striking realism of the face, the precision of the details, and the freedom of the painterly strokes testify to the artist’s remarkable technical mastery. A very Parisian reinterpretation of the classic cherub, as endearing as it is subversive.
· Comes with its certificate of authenticity;
· Framed in an American-style frame 72 × 61 cm;
· Signed on the front, and signed, titled, and dated on the back;
· Very careful packaging;
· Shipped insured with tracking;
· If you live in the Paris region, you can come to collect the artwork directly at our gallery located in the 11th arrondissement.
About the artist:
Emerging from the Paris graffiti scene of the 1990s, Mathieu 1976 began painting in the street in 1992. He gradually developed a figurative practice driven by a highly mastered painting technique and a great attention to the treatment of light.
His preferred subject is the angel, depicted from Renaissance putti to the cherub and seraph imagery of popular iconography. Behind the apparent innocence of these figures lies often a second reading—more ambiguous, sometimes irreverent—that plays with the contradictions between purity and transgression.
Today well established on the French street art scene, Mathieu 1976 has multiplied urban interventions and exhibitions, imposing a instantly recognizable universe where pictorial virtuosity serves a mischievous perspective on our times.
Mathieu 1976 aligns with the street art movement, alongside artists such as Vhils, Invader, Shepard Fairey, JonOne, Kaws, Futura.
