AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Paris gallery CHENUS LONGHI presents this original sculpture of CyKlop, made from an authentic Parisian anti-parking bollard in steel, cut to 30 cm in height and hand-painted.
For more than twenty years, Le CyKlop has been repurposing urban furniture to bring fantastical characters to life, recognizable by their single eye. Here, he revisits the theme of vanity by pairing a human skull with a disproportionately large eyeball, in a composition that blends dark humor and references to popular imagery.
A particularly representative piece of this artist who has made Parisian bollards his signature, and an opportunity for collectors to bring a true fragment of his street-world into their homes.
· Original work signed and dated by hand on the artwork itself ;
· It is a real street bollard that has been cut ;
· Comes with its certificate of authenticity ;
· Very careful packaging ;
· Shipped with insurance and tracking ;
· If you reside in the Paris region, you can pick up the work directly at our gallery located in the 11th arrondissement.
About the artist :
Active since the 2000s, Le Cyklop develops an original practice of urban art by transforming city furniture, notably anti-parking bollards, into one-eyed characters inspired by the Cyclops of Greek mythology.
With humor and whimsy, he repurposes these functional objects to give them life and invite passersby to look at their everyday environment differently. His interventions, familiar in the streets of Paris and well beyond, constitute a universe instantly recognizable.
In the studio, Le Cyklop extends this approach by working directly on recovered urban furniture elements, creating sculptures that retain a close link to his street interventions.
Le Cyklop belongs to the street art movement, alongside artists such as Vhils, Invader, Shepard Fairey, JonOne, Kaws, Futura.
