SKEPA - Chimera with a golden ball

Original work by the French artist Skepa with certificate of authenticity.

Skepa is a French visual artist and sculptor born in 1978. Co-founder of the BAFO movement. He graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Lyon and began his initial approach to painting through graffiti in the early 1990s. His meeting with Jone Hopper, with whom he confused the TBS group and other activists, was a turning point in his approach to art. Over the years, his painting becomes more experimental, rawer, and opens up to new boundaries. He draws his influences from Brauner, Matisse, Corneille, Braque, and fire brigade art. Various art critics compare his pictorial output to a UFO with multiple tentacles, where organic Cubism, embellished with a touch of figurative unstructured, is harmoniously blended with the purified vision of contemporary art.
