Coco de Paris - The Weight of Being

Coco de Paris - The Weight of Being

Sculpture "The Weight of Being" one-of-a-kind piece by the artist Coco de Paris, hand-painted. Sculpture signed by hand 'Coco de Paris'. International contemporary artist Coco de Paris was born in the Netherlands and trained at the prestigious art schools of Antwerp and Brussels. Based in France for more than 30 years, he develops a distinctive body of work, immediately recognizable, at the crossroads of contemporary art, design, and visual culture. International recognition Coco de Paris's work goes far beyond the traditional gallery scene: • Several of his works appear in the Deep Water film produced by 20th Century Fox, with Ben Affleck • He collaborated with Marc Jacobs for an exclusive collection • Gucci has acquired licensing rights to some of his works • Géraldine Chaplin counts his creations among her inspirations • Collaborations with international brands and institutions such as Joe Fresh, World Market, Cardinal Games, Nepia (Japan), FLOW Magazine, and Lindner Hotels (Germany). • Collaboration with Tim Zagat (founder of the Zagat guide): creation of an illustrated alphabet of 26 animals and, for 2026, the release of two works: a book devoted to the mythical Parisian palace Le Bristol Paris and an artistic work titled Silly Words. His work has been shown in numerous galleries and art fairs across Europe, such as the Affordable Art Fairs in Brussels and Amsterdam, selected for the MAC Paris show, Art Metz, and the galleries of Art Bernard Mourrier (Saint-Rémy-de-Provence), Carincotte (Marseille), Another Art (Belgium), Galerie Projection (Brussels), Galerie Radar (Bayeux), Galerie Cyane (Nancy), Galerie Marie Ricco (Calvi), Galerie Gour-beneforti (Bastia). His selection for the Chelsea International Art Competition in New York also confirms the international reach of his work. Currently, Coco de Paris's work is permanently represented in France by the Art Sant Roch gallery in Céret. His sculptures, made from resin, iron, wood, and ceramic painting, are hand-painted and reflect a constant pursuit of innovation and material. Sculpture delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
