Discover a vibrant and eclectic work of art that combines various cultural and stylistic elements to form a composition that is both bold and captivating. Dominated by warm and enveloping colors, this painting explores a message of diversity and humanity through the bold juxtaposition of iconic characters and abstract motifs. At the center of this canvas, an elephant character, elegantly dressed in a costume, sits enthroned with a golden crown on his head. This element introduces a surrealist touch, evoking childhood memories filled with fantasy. On the right, the dynamic figure of two children, one of whom is listening to music with headphones, brings a note of modernity and youth. The background of the work is an explosion of geometric shapes and tribal symbols, reminiscent of traditional African art. These motifs reveal a historical and cultural depth that enriches the visual narrative. A sculptural face on the left of the canvas appears to emerge from the background, creating a visual and cultural link between past and present, tradition and modernity. The color palette, dominated by pink, orange, and blue hues, creates a striking contrast with the detailed elements that emerge through the layers of paint. Each detail draws the viewer's eye, prompting attentive and thoughtful contemplation. This work, through its bold fusion of traditional and contemporary art, its multiple cultural references, and its vibrant aesthetic, positions itself as a powerful testament to unity in diversity. It encourages reflection on cultural identity and global interconnectedness, while marveling with its visual and narrative richness.

Sara Chelou, La spirale du temps
France  • 1972

Presentation

Sara Chelou is an active witness to the beginnings of street art in France. It was in the 90s, in Paris, that she began to paint outside the walls, as a committed artist in the underground world, in industrial cathedrals and libertarian wasteland.

She has a journey that is both plastic and experimental which questions the role of the artist in the city but also his place in society.

Being part of some of the first artistic experimental collectives, she participated in the creation of the first urban art events and the first European festivals on the same subject (as in Budapest in Hungary), then brought her art in abandoned industrial wastelands before moving into various Parisian studios.

For her way of painting in the city, she plays with references from American pop culture with Keith Haring, Warhol, Lichtenstein, and graffiti culture from everywhere. Sara Chelou also takes an engaged look at our time. Her urban poetry accompanies us and her messages slows down our steps.

From street art to contemporary art through pop art, she is an artist who participates in the current artistic renewal.

In her paintings she speaks of a graphic culture and a time when art is expressed and oscillates between the forbidden and the game, leaves the workshop to confront society in the streets and in the cities, reflects the world and its tensions with different influences, a form of fusion between citizen reflection, geek culture and graffiti.

His work is free, without borders.

Recognized today on the French and international artistic scene through numerous exhibitions and especially by international collectors, her paintings know no borders, her works are present on all continents and her colors and messages carry a salutary universality. Through her paintings, the adventure reaches your home.
