AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Parisian gallery CHENUS LONGHI presents The Ego and Vanity, an original work by Le CyKlop created in 2026, in acrylic and spray on canvas, sized 30 x 30 cm for Urban Art 360.
The artist gathers here two facets of his universe: the yellow figure with comic-book hints, embodiment of the ego, and the skull associated with vanity, a classic theme in the history of art. By sharing a single face between these two representations, Le CyKlop confronts the image we project of ourselves with our mortal condition. A graphic and direct composition, where his usual humor takes on a somewhat more critical dimension.

· Comes with its certificate of authenticity;
· Very careful packaging;

· If you reside in the Paris region, you can come and collect 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 posts, into one-eyed characters inspired by the Cyclops of Greek mythology.
With humor and whimsy, he distorts these functional objects to give them life and invite passersby to look at their everyday environment differently. His interventions, familiar on the streets of Paris and well beyond, constitute a universe immediately recognizable.
In the workshop, Le CyKlop extends this approach by working directly on recovered urban furniture elements, creating sculptures that retain a close link with his street interventions.
Le CyKlop is part of the street art movement, alongside artists such as Vhils, Invader, Shepard Fairey, JonOne, Kaws, Futura.
