Description
Urban support becomes a field of chromatic experimentation here. The artist uses spray paint to transform a skateboard into a plastic and saturated object.
Spherical shapes collide against a light blue background. These bubbles evoke overinflated balloons, oscillating between the lightness of childhood and the heaviness of consumption.
Red, yellow, and pink oppose shades of white and deep blue. The smooth and glossy rendering imitates the texture of industrial plastic.
This composition plays on sharp contrasts. The mastered gradients bring an almost tactile volume to the shapes.
The aesthetic approach questions our relationship with disposable objects through a pop prism. The whole is structured around a dynamic verticality.
The precise execution of the stencil emphasizes the technical rigor of the artist. This piece combines the energy of street art with a reflection on the omnipresence of synthetic materials.
The work is distinguished by its lustrous appearance and sharp contours.
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.
