Galleries in Paris

In this new project for the galerie Polaris, Speedy Graphito gathers together 15 works organised in 6 sets of paintings-drawings-installations-sculptures. In doing so he induces a reflexion about an analytical perception of the image.

From the human being’s desire to express himself to the so called image ‘of the future’, what shall we – as viewers -   keep in mind? What shall we choose to keep in mind as icon of this generic knowledge?

By linking graffiti’s historical and epistemic concept and its relationship with today’s virtual image, Speedy Graphito analyses their similarities and differences throughout the narrative structure of the exhibition.

The result is not just a study but a transmission of the artist’s perception of the world via his paintings.  He underlines with skill and irony our current situation: we are overwhelmed by an avalanche of images which we are no more able to understand nor take in… lack of time, lack of means?

Just for the time of an exhibition Speedy Graphito,by giving   us the role of reader, continues to disconcert us. He scrambles our points of reference and forces us to reconsider, on the basis of his proposals, the labyrinth of today’s art history in which we play (for the time being) the lead role.
