Artwork sold in perfect condition

Artwork location: France

This work, both very pop and contemporary, takes up the characters of the little prince and Snow White in a quite moving way. In this point of view, Snow White is holding a can of Apple soup which symbolizes both the apple of the account of which she is the heroine, but which also signifies the original sin of Adam and Eve from the origin of creation according to Catholic cosmogony, this transposition both through a fairy tale and a soup can which represents Pop Art since Andy Warhol sets up a dialectic which tells a new story. The little prince, for his part, contemplates Murakami's Fleureuse, as well as a flower by Keith Harrin which is near him, and which once again represents the transition from an iconic account to a narrative close to contemporary Pop Art. All of which is embellished with elements of retro Gaming and even other characters from Keith Harring. We can say that the artist tells a new form of contemporary account which is made up of both culture and Collective imagination, but which are today to come back With happiness, mischief, humor and emotion.

Sara Chelou, Stop playing with my heart
France  • 1972

Presentation

Sara Chelou is an active witness to the beginnings of street art in France. It was in the 90s, in Paris, that she began to paint outside the walls, as a committed artist in the underground world, in industrial cathedrals and libertarian wasteland.

She has a journey that is both plastic and experimental which questions the role of the artist in the city but also his place in society.

Being part of some of the first artistic experimental collectives, she participated in the creation of the first urban art events and the first European festivals on the same subject (as in Budapest in Hungary), then brought her art in abandoned industrial wastelands before moving into various Parisian studios.

For her way of painting in the city, she plays with references from American pop culture with Keith Haring, Warhol, Lichtenstein, and graffiti culture from everywhere. Sara Chelou also takes an engaged look at our time. Her urban poetry accompanies us and her messages slows down our steps.

From street art to contemporary art through pop art, she is an artist who participates in the current artistic renewal.

In her paintings she speaks of a graphic culture and a time when art is expressed and oscillates between the forbidden and the game, leaves the workshop to confront society in the streets and in the cities, reflects the world and its tensions with different influences, a form of fusion between citizen reflection, geek culture and graffiti.

His work is free, without borders.

Recognized today on the French and international artistic scene through numerous exhibitions and especially by international collectors, her paintings know no borders, her works are present on all continents and her colors and messages carry a salutary universality. Through her paintings, the adventure reaches your home.
