Work created by Junky 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 created on this legendary model of Saint Lazare in 1991. This work comes with a photo of the original graffiti and the author's explanatory text.
The resin plaques, entirely handcrafted in an artisanal manner, represent an exact reproduction at scale 1 of the original SNCF Z6400 model from a cast of the original train. Each plaque is approximately 118cm high and approximately 58cm wide, and is made with acrylic resin applied in 3 fiber layers for optimal strength.
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 perspectives.
This combination of urban elements and abstract techniques 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 audacity, captivating from the first impression.
