Artwork location: France
This fascinating artwork depicts a humorous parody of a superhero. The central character wears an oversized blue mask with the letter "A" on its forehead, evoking a famous hero, but with a unique and satirical look. His half-closed eyes give him a jaded expression, reinforcing the figure's caricatured appearance. His red cape and striped suit add pops of bright color that contrast with the dark background, accentuating his eccentric appearance. The small white wings on his helmet add a burlesque dimension to the ensemble. The white sneakers and the heart-shaped tattoo on the character's left arm add intriguing details. This artwork plays with the codes of the superhero genre while offering a playful and critical perspective, captivating the viewer with its originality and humor.
Work on vintage salvaged support and frame.

Presentation
If the appearance of the world is revealed in its aesthetic, media, calculated, ordered, corrected form,
in short, erected under the yoke of artifice ... it is then obvious that our role is to cleanse the right-thinking varnish of
this mess and to highlight: a hybrid world, monstrous, deformed, bloody, hairy and cuckold ... in short,
our world !
We remain the creatures of a guy called God or Jean-Luc? ... If we have to be on our knees, let's stand up,
if to be Adam and Eve let's be Bonnie and Clide, if to be beautiful let's be ugly, if to be tidy let's be
messy, if we have to be lucid let's be drunk, if we have ankles, advocate sprains, if we like dough, choose lumps, if there are good ones we prefer idiots! ...
It is on this kind of "idiocy (s) of the real" that Gilen balances and invests an imaginary, mountebank, and visionary world. In short, a permanent world ...
An absurd and burlesque approach, Gilen caricatures the superficial to better consent to the depth. The painting
remains for him a zone of temporary reflection which staggers on (im) perfect territories! These portraits mixed in universal disorder, from “filthy” to bucados, including Dionysos and Carlos, there is only one time: that of the living. Gilen is alive and seems to be alive for a long time, just to piss us off! Cocktail of humor, molotovs, rhythms and looks ... Gilen is there ... The petits fours are already burnt! ... And ... Boom !!! ....
