Wxyz (1980) - "322-1"

WXYZ (1980) – “322-1” (2026) Original Concrete Sculpture – Unique Piece (1/1) Original contemporary sculpture entirely handcrafted by French street artist WXYZ, combining different individually pigmented concretes to create a striking abstract portrait. Unlike a traditionally painted sculpture, this piece explores color directly through the material itself. Different shades of concrete — natural grey, deep black, vibrant blue, bright yellow and rich red with burgundy undertones — are carefully assembled to form a bold, expressive composition. The overlapping colored surfaces gradually reveal an abstract face, somewhere between a contemporary mask, an urban portrait and a fragmented work of art. The contrast between the dark upper section, the vivid blue central forms, the luminous yellow accents and the textured natural concrete creates a powerful visual balance. Each colored element retains the distinctive grain, pores and subtle irregularities of cast concrete, giving the artwork an authentic mineral character. The sculpture has been finished with a protective varnish, subtly enhancing the depth of the pigments and bringing out the richness of the different concrete textures. From Graffiti to Sculpture The “322-1” is an emblematic figure in WXYZ’s artistic universe, born from his transition from graffiti to three-dimensional art. Its name refers to Article 322-1 of the French Penal Code concerning damage to property — a direct reference to the artist’s roots in graffiti culture. Through this distinctive silhouette, WXYZ transforms the raw materials and visual language of the street into contemporary sculpture. In this particular interpretation, the artist moves beyond traditional graffiti lettering to explore a more abstract and expressive visual language. The result is a unique sculptural composition in which color, material and abstraction come together to create a powerful contemporary portrait.
