Totem exhibition by Speedy Graphito at the Polaris Gallery

 

4

A precursor of street art in France, Speedy Graphito is a free artist, with striking graphics. His works with joyful and sparkling tones transport us to an imaginary world, at the crossroads between modern arts and comics. In this exhibition, the artist puts aside his usual themes and favors the arrangement of patterns and colors, which he juxtaposes to create harmonious wholes. Thus, canvases painted in bright colors and fabrics with decorative patterns are superimposed on the height of a drying rack, revealing unique compositions, similar to totems inspired by Mayan art.

Did you know?
The artist chose the name Speedy Graphito because it sounds like a brand. He evokes “the rapid side of the action of painting in an emergency and the graphic side of the simplification of stencil images”.
