Immersed in an iconic posture borrowed from street artist Banksy, this revisited Van Gogh becomes the messenger of a new form of engaged art. Instead of a paving stone, the artist holds a bouquet of sunflowers firmly in his hand. A gesture both gentle and powerful, a symbol of peace and an artistic gesture sent out to the world.
This daring illustration, created entirely in colored pencil, fuses two artistic worlds that seem to oppose each other : the emotional fragility of Van Gogh and the hard-hitting irony of contemporary street art.
Signed Lapolemik, this work embodies a cool and profoundly hype artistic vision. Whether on a graphic T-shirt or as a wall poster, this drawing is for free spirits, art lovers and anyone who wants to combine culture, humor and aesthetics.
