Canvas on wooden stretcher, tattered posters, spray, stencil, 61x50 cm. Original and unique work on canvas made by hand, fresh from the studio. Ready to hang on the wall. Protected and fast shipping. Sold without frame. LASVEGUIX A French contemporary artist, Lasveguix develops a singular universe at the crossroads of street art, collage and contemporary painting. His work questions the memory of walls, the passage of time, and the poetry of the ephemeral, transforming urban scars into emotionally charged artworks. Initiated into graffiti by his cousin SUOZ, he hones his visual language through contact with the walls of Paris and London. His work sits within an artistic lineage where the great names of urban and contemporary art dialogue. One finds the heritage of Jacques Villeglé and Raymond Hains in torn-poster art, the sculptural power of Vhils, the raw energy of Jean‑Michel Basquiat, the silhouettes of Jérôme Mesnager, the poetry of Miss Tic, the urban memory of Ernest Pignon-Ernest, Jef Aérosol’s stencil, Invader’s pixel universe, and Shepard Fairey’s iconic force. Without ever imitating them, Lasveguix asserts a personal, immediately recognizable voice. Torn posters, spray, acrylic, Posca and reliefs compose true 'wall skins,' where tears, superimpositions and traces of time become witnesses to a collective memory. Each work reveals a dialogue between material, history and emotion, inviting the viewer to rediscover the beauty of what the city seemed to have forgotten. Lasveguix regularly exhibits in France and abroad. His works join private collections in many countries and reflect growing interest from collectors. His career has led him to participate in art fairs, prestigious exhibitions, and charity galas bringing together collectors, patrons and institutions. His work has notably been featured at events organized at Roland Garros, the District 13 Art Fair at Hôtel Drouot, in Monaco, and at several emblematic venues of the contemporary art scene. Through each of his creations, Lasveguix gives a second life to the remnants of the city. He does not depict the walls; he reveals their soul, making urban heritage, memory and creation converse in a deeply contemporary and timeless artwork.
