Description
Urban aesthetics meets the codes of comic books here. A dark and deep background isolates the elements to accentuate the contrast. Two disproportionate eyes fix the viewer with a curious intensity. The gaze, tinged with green, brings a touch of cold light to the composition.
At the bottom of the image, a curved, orange shape evokes a sweet object, almost malleable. A gray tape seems to seal this element to the surface, suggesting a physical tension or constraint. The colored inscription that crosses the shape adds a graphic and playful dimension.
The use of spray paint allows for subtle gradients and sharp outlines. This technique, characteristic of street art, emphasizes the duality between the childlike aspect of the shapes and the rigor of the execution. The whole questions our relationship to consumption through a plastic prism. This painting on paper is distinguished by its synthetic approach and its play on volumes. The final rendering relies on rigorous technical precision to serve a contemporary message.
Presentation
Born in 1976, Gum is an emerging artist of the French street art scene. An inheritor of the street, he has been evolving along with his sole weapon: spray paint.
Acidulous, "bubble" and playful, plastic is the main focus of his artistic approach and the common thread of his favorite themes: advertisement, consumption, excessive consumption and sex. Just like our Earth is flooded with plastic and waste, his works are as well. While plastic is melting away due to global warning, the world is busy looking elsewhere.
Through the use of stencils, he breathes in life to his characters, with curves or a candy floss which he named Hello clito, Mr Masturbator or Foofoonette plastik, he portrays this in a brilliant manner combining provocativeness along with childish references and a porno-chic universe. He positions his work between innocent joys of childhood and a hate for prefabricated consumerism: a bi-faceted art.
His work has been exhibited several times in Montpellier, his adopted city, but also in Paris, Brussels, Munich, Berlin, Denmark, and Italy as he won during the Biennial of Naples.
