Wxyz (1980) - "322-1"

WXYZ (1980) – “322-1” Original brass sculpture entirely produced under the artist’s direction and involvement throughout the different stages of the traditional metal casting process. WXYZ personally oversaw and participated in the successive stages of production, from the moulding of the original prototype and the creation of the wax model to the brass casting, final chasing and polishing of the piece. This hands-on approach allows the artist to remain closely involved in the transformation of his original sculpture into metal. For this version, WXYZ chose a polished brass finish, highlighting the natural golden brilliance of the material. The smooth, reflective surface captures and plays with light, revealing the sculpture’s contours and sculptural details. This luminous finish creates a striking contrast with the raw, industrial origins of the artist’s graffiti-inspired universe, transforming an emblem of urban culture into a refined and precious object. Dimensions: 30 × 16 × 6 mm Material: Brass Technique: Moulding, wax model, brass casting, chasing and polishing Finish: Polished brass Year: 2026 The 322-1, an emblematic figure in WXYZ’s work, emerged from his transition from graffiti to sculpture. It translates his graphic language into three dimensions while reflecting his interest in urban materials and their imperfections. Its name refers to Article 322-1 of the French Penal Code concerning damage to property, a direct nod to the artist’s roots in graffiti. Packaging & Shipping The sculpture is accompanied by its certificate of authenticity and its original presentation box. It will be carefully protected with reinforced packaging to minimize any risk of damage during transit.
