Collection Les Bleus de St Laz Fantome Ndek, 2025

Ndek  

Work created by Ndek for the exhibition Les Bleus de St-Laz (April 24 to 27, 2025, Espace Thorigny, 75003 Paris).

This work is a unique reproduction of a graffiti made on this mythical model of Saint Lazare (the photo and the text of the original graffiti are delivered with the work). The resin plates, entirely handmade in an artisanal way, represent an exact reproduction at scale 1 of the original SNCF Z6400 model from a casting of the original train. Each plate has a height of approximately 118cm and a width of approximately 58cm, is made with acrylic resin applied in 3 fiber layers for optimal resistance.

This modern art piece stands out for its bold approach using graffiti as a means of artistic expression. The wavy patterns present on the initial texture of the train lend a unique dimension, encouraging the viewer to examine the composition from various points of view. This combination of urban elements and abstract processes depicts the convergence between the worlds of street art and the gallery, capturing the intensity and dynamism of contemporary urban art. This work attracts the viewer with its dynamism and aesthetic boldness, captivating from the first impression.
