C215 (né en 1973) présente Saudade, une œuvre unique originale de 2014, un portrait au pochoir sur une plaque métallique récupérée, 42 × 39 cm, réalisée en pochoir et peinture acrylique, signé à la main sur le front et counter-signé au revers, en excellent état.
Description fournie par le vendeur
Created by C215 in 2014 on a reclaimed metal plate, Saudade depicts the portrait of a young boy in profile, his gaze drifting into the distance. The work perfectly embodies the meaning of the word saudade—a gentle melancholy shaped by distance and memory.
The freely sprayed background contrasts with the precision of the stencil, creating a subtle tension between spontaneity and control. Stencil-signed at the lower right and counter-signed on the reverse, this work is characteristic of C215’s humanist approach, focused on faces and the quiet fragility of everyday life.
A hanging system has been added to the back, allowing the piece to be easily wall-mounted and displayed at a slight distance, giving it an elegant, floating appearance.
• Original and unique artwork on reclaimed metal
• Dimensions: 42 × 39 cm
• Stencil-signed on the front and counter-signed on the reverse
• Bevelled hanging system on the back

Born in 1973, Christian Guémy, alias C215, gained international recognition in the second half of the 2000s thanks to his stencils, often focused on portraiture. Hyperactive both on the streets and in the studio, Christian Guémy is the embodiment of today’s street art. A lover of classical art—particularly the great masters of the Italian and Flemish Renaissance like Caravaggio and Dürer—he has brought dignity to the stencil medium, astonishing audiences with his technique. But his allure doesn’t stop there. He skillfully uses his marketing sense and rhetoric to create works on the most universal subjects: numerous portraits of anonymous people, including the homeless; his daughter Nina, whom he continuously depicted throughout her childhood; as well as many portraits of historical, literary, and poetic figures. C215 is a deeply humanist painter, expressing himself through a sensitive, fragmented, raw visual language, enriched by a plural culture and universal values, advocating tolerance and togetherness. His work has gained institutional recognition for several years, with significant exhibitions dedicated to him, from the Musée des Arts et Métiers to the Musée des Invalides, and more recently, the Inguimbertine in Carpentras.
