AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Paris gallery CHENUS LONGHI presents Shit Happens, an original work by Mathieu 1976 created with spray paint, acrylic and oil pastel on a UV-printed base on an old metal film reel can, 27.5 cm in diameter.
On this unusual support, a smiling cherub sways above human skulls. Behind its apparent innocence, the scene plays with the codes of classical vanities and the dark humor dear to the artist. The title, inscribed on the cherub’s chest, completes this challenge to the traditional iconography.
The choice of this recovered object adds another dimension to the work: once intended to preserve images, it becomes a support for creation itself. An original piece that also illustrates the taste of urban artists for the misappropriation of everyday objects. A real gem!
· Comes with its certificate of authenticity;
· signed on the front, and signed, titled and dated on the back;
· Very carefully packaged;
· Shipped with insurance and tracking;
· If you live in the Paris region, you can pick up the work 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 streets in 1992. He gradually develops a figurative practice driven by a highly mastered pictorial technique and great attention to light handling.
His subject of choice is the angel, derived from Renaissance putti to the cherubs and seraphim of popular iconography. Behind the apparent innocence of these figures, a second reading often emerges, more ambiguous, sometimes irreverent, that plays with the contradictions between purity and transgression.
Today well established on the French street art scene, Mathieu 1976 carries out numerous urban interventions and exhibitions, establishing an immediately recognizable universe where pictorial virtuosity serves a mischievous gaze on our era.
Mathieu 1976 is part of the street art movement, alongside artists such as Vhils, Invader, Shepard Fairey, JonOne, Kaws, Futura.
