About the artwork

A small-scale drawing on paper depicts a stylized female character rendered in a cartoonish,graffiti-inspired aesthetic. The central figure features bright orange hair adorned with a red rose and green leaves,large expressive eyes,and full pink lips. She wears a light blue outfit,possibly overalls or a dress,with visible stitching details,and large sneakers. Her hands,depicted with white gloves,are positioned in a gesture resembling the "rock on" sign,adding to the character's dynamic and rebellious persona. To the right of the character,a stylized tag or signature,"ZENOY!! ONE," is rendered in black ink,incorporating an arrow pointing downwards and a sun-like symbol above. This element directly links the work to the artist's identity and street art origins. The background is an unadorned white sheet of paper,which appears to be recycled corporate stationery,as indicated by the printed text from "RENAULT" and "Sandrine GODEREL" along the margins. The use of such material suggests an impromptu or spontaneous creation,typical of certain urban art practices.

Expert opinion

This work exemplifies a common practice within the Street Art movement where artists translate their public mural and graffiti styles into smaller,collectible formats. The use of markers and a direct,illustrative approach aligns with the immediate and accessible nature of urban art. Its market position is situated within the broader contemporary art market,specifically appealing to collectors interested in the evolution of graffiti into gallery-acceptable forms. The artist's established presence in the French street art scene contributes to the work's market viability.

About the artist

William Pinçon, known professionally as Zenoy, is a French artist born in 1978. He began his artistic journey in the late 1980s, immersing himself in the burgeoning graffiti scene of Paris. His early work was characterized by a focus on lettering and tagging, which he honed through extensive practice on city walls and trains. Zenoy quickly became a prominent figure within the Parisian graffiti community, developing a distinctive style that combined traditional wildstyle elements with unique graphic flourishes. Throughout the 1990s, Zenoy expanded his repertoire beyond street art, translating his urban aesthetic into studio works. He began to explore various mediums, including canvas, paper, and sculpture, while retaining the energy and visual language of graffiti. His career trajectory reflects a common path for many street artists who transition from ephemeral public interventions to more permanent gallery-based practices, contributing to the broader recognition of graffiti as a legitimate art form. He is associated with crews such as DKC, D77, OPR, and DUC.
