vue des peintures à l'atelier. psy

How do we talk about the urban art of the present and its impact in today’s culture? As an activist of this movement, the gallery strongly reaffirms its support to these artists through a group show reuniting some key artists from all over the world. The artists in this show testify to a link between cities, a common language based on expression. As a real artistic movement, and probably the last one from the twentieth century, urban art's diversity is strongly evident in Graffiti. Now that the auctions from London to Paris are getting crazy for these artists, it is important to bring these great artists together from New York, Brazil, France and beyond. Participants inlcude Maya Hayuk, Jay, Jonone, Lokiss, Nunca, José Parlá, Psy, West, and many others.

This style of art which is born from the City is immediate graphic expression. It is the art of the moment and an important fragment of our contemporary culture. It is the expression of anonymity, of the forbidden, which creates an atmosphere that is suggesting a struggle towards artistic freedom.
