Collection les bleus de St Laz Sleez, 2025

Sleez  

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

This work is a faithful and unique reproduction of a graffiti made on this mythical model of Saint Lazare (the photo of the original graffiti is delivered with the work and the associated text). The resin plates, entirely handmade in an artisanal manner, 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 fibered layers for optimal resistance.

This bold work embodies the essence of contemporary street art with a harmonious fusion of vibrant colors and dynamic shapes. The intense blue background contrasts sharply with the bright yellow and red patterns, which immediately capture attention. The red "Real Rock" lettering, placed in the upper left corner, adds a rebellious and authentic dimension. Red spheres of varying sizes float lightly, creating a sense of depth and movement. The sharp, powerful black and white lines structure the composition and direct the eye through the work, revealing impressive technical mastery. This piece expresses a raw, urban energy, a vibrant homage to graffiti culture, while maintaining a remarkable balance between chaos and harmony.
