Lyssandre Saint York - CHANEL CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING - lego street artwork

- Title of the work: CHANEL CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING COLLECTION ( LEGO STREET ARTWORK ) - Presentation of the work: Here is a composition, a relief artistic détourment, halfway between pop art, street art and a collectible object. A playful reflection on luxury, money, achievement and each person’s ability to change their situation. Symbols of contemporary culture: dollar, Bitcoin, inscriptions, Lego character and brick wall, graphic motifs, logos and fashion references. The Chanel perfume becomes here a kind of symbol of luxury transformed into a work of art, while the inscription “CHANEL CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING” ( Chanel can change everything ) brings a sense of freedom and transformation. It gives the whole piece a dimension related to transformation, ambition and the power to create or alter the world. A contrast between luxury (Chanel, perfume, money) and street art (graffiti, Bitcoin, vivid colors, characters). The work blends the world of fashion and luxury with that of urban culture and contemporary art, with a reflection on the codes of our contemporary society. - Artistic realization: by Lyssandre Saint York - Year / 2026 - Limited edition sold - 1/1 UNIT - Certificate of authenticity: Yes + numbered on the back and on the matting 1/1 + security label sticker with signature capsule in the name of the artist L.

Original Pop Street Art work to display or hang BIOGRAPHY of THE ARTIST Lyssandre Saint York, Designer and artist born in the 1970s. My artistic work sits at the crossroads of two worlds that fascinate me: the raw energy of street art and the visual impact of pop art. I grew up during the rise of the “seventies” style and Space Age design, a rupture era where furniture rejected pre-war sobriety to dare organic shapes, plastic and vibrant colors. Swayed by this bold aesthetic, I naturally first carved my path in design and fashion, conceiving and selling concepts around the world for over 30 years to this day. This mastery of structure and visual impact later unfolds in my artistic creations. My journey as an artist began with play, composing my first works in LEGO bricks under a frame. This artistic approach let me revisit the great icons of pop culture. From Star Wars heroes to indispensable figures like Mario Bros, Mickey, or the iconic Scrooge McDuck, mixing symbols of the greatest luxury brands with these LEGO characters, icons of an entire generation! I have always loved appropriating these symbols to give them a new dimension. This work naturally extended to creating sculptures with the rebellious graffiti environment of Banksy, or emblematic characters of Art Toy. By subverting these sculptures and these iconic figures, I play on contrasts to question our desires and our consumer society. This conceptual rigor dialogues with the absolute freedom of urban culture. Marker, spray can, stencil, paint, drips and textured overlays, but also with other techniques I combine with the chromatic power of pop art. My works have thus become a visual collision where the anti-conformist design of the 70s and luxury meet the subversive spontaneity of the street. By juxtaposing and reimagining these collective and cult icons with a graphic and instinctive aesthetics, I offer a reading that is at once nostalgic, double-meaning, impactful and decidedly contemporary of our time with societal themes and minimalist conceptual illustration. From Paris to New York, via Taiwan or even Australia, my works travel the world thanks to you and I thank you.
