Automne n°1

On a deep black background, adorned with a golden applat that appears to be torn, the composition is strewn with various elements that reflect a world between "primitive" and "urban", in the words of the artist. Graffiti, schematized and expressive characters, splashes of color and words punctuate the canvas, giving us the impression of being face to face with a fragment of wall as photographed by the famous Brassaï. The bright colors and varied textures bring a raw energy to the piece, while recalling the expressionism of urban art. The influence of Jean-Michel Basquiat is also palpable in the pictorial style and the direct, vibrant use of color. The word "Now" is inscribed several times, infusing a sense of urgency. By affixing robot heads alongside faces inspired by primitive art, Skunkdog underlines the duality between past and present, and claims a "primitive and urban" style. Overall, this work is a complex exploration of the themes of technology, primitive art influence, urbanity and contemporary culture.
