Description
A white framed original oil painting by the artist Kessler titled Statue Urbaine.
Artist: Kessler
Title: Statue Urbaine.
Size: 90cm x 60cm
Frame Colour: White
Valuation: €1400
A white-framed original oil painting by contemporary artist Kessler, Statue Urbaine is a striking collision of classical beauty and urban rebellion. Measuring 90cm x 60cm, this thought-provoking work presents the elegant, timeworn face of a Greco-Roman statue, now boldly tagged with modern graffiti. The monochromatic rendering of the marble figure contrasts sharply with the vibrant red and black spray-paint markings—symbols of peace, the word “GoAT,” and bold, abstract signatures.
Kessler’s work challenges tradition by reimagining revered art through the lens of street culture. The detailed realism of the sculpture’s form is disrupted by chaotic, expressive graffiti, turning the piece into a powerful statement on how the past is perceived and repurposed in today’s world. The clean white frame further amplifies the juxtaposition of high art and raw expression.
Valued at €1400, Statue Urbaine is perfect for collectors who seek bold, culturally resonant pieces that blur the line between antiquity and modernity.
