Coco de Paris - The Weight of the Alphabet

Coco de Paris - The Weight of the Alphabet

Sculpture "The Weight of the Alphabet" PIECE UNIQUE by the artist Coco de Paris, hand-painted. Sculpture hand-signed 'Coco de Paris'. Contemporary international artist, Coco de Paris was born in the Netherlands and trained at the prestigious art schools of Antwerp and Brussels. Based in France for over 30 years, he develops a singular 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 framework of traditional galleries: • Several of his works appear in the film Deep Water produced by 20th Century Fox, with Ben Affleck • He has collaborated with Marc Jacobs for an exclusive collection • Gucci has acquired rights to exploit 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 or 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 books: a book devoted to the mythical Parisian palace Le Bristol Paris and an artistic work titled Silly Words. His work has been presented 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 art galleries 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 gallery Art Sant Roch in Céret. His sculptures, made in resin, iron, wood, and ceramic-painted, are hand-painted and reflect a continuous search for innovation and material. Sculpture delivered with certificate of authenticity.
