Description

Beautiful acrylic on canvas signed Antoine Gamard. The canvas measures 79.5 x 100 cm. It is sold rolled in a protective tube to limit shipping costs.

Between urban writing and academicism, Antoine Gamard has fun highlighting the links he sees between twentieth-century energy and the aesthetics of graffiti:
"For me, graffiti is an intrinsic component of art; it represents not only the spoken word, but also the reality of the world. It expresses man's condition on the margins...
It's essential to my work, in that it expresses our utopias, our suffering, our ideas... It's the violent expression of inner states, as much a salvation and liberator as a warning bell.
Using graffiti as a backdrop seemed obvious to me."
