STREET’ART’MAGNAC Festival 2021
Chateau de Millet
Eauze, France

Chateau de Millet is a family-run business producing several types of armagnac, wines and ciders. Painted for STREET’ART’MAGNAC Festival 2021, we explore the contrasts of life as it pertains to having a taste for the occasional glass. With the giggles of close young friends on the left, we evoke the exhilaration of life, the joy of living and the carefree spirit of this friendly moment, like a good memory they’ll be recounting in a few years’ time. The framing is closer to the viewer, more intimate. The language is accessible, uninhibited and of course, funny. On the other hand, we have an homage of Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks , which evokes the nocturnal atmosphere of the bar and the more mysterious experience between adults. Time seems frozen, recalling a more serious side and another form of social interaction. Two ways of evoking alcohol, and therefore two ways of enjoying it.

Venus Projection
2021
Spot 13
Paris, France

Venus Projection is a large-scale work that blends classical and contemporary styles. The piece features two central figures: one is a reinterpretation of The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli, with Venus’ flowing red hair and serene expression. The second figure, a modern interpretation, depicts a Black woman in a classical pose wearing an off-the-shoulder gown—traces of Botticelli’s portrait casting a distorted image on the woman as if being covered by the light of a projection.

With the juxtaposition of these figures, we create a dialogue between traditional European ideals of beauty and contemporary expressions of identity, emphasizing diversity and inclusion.

Viewable from the highway in Paris, we wanted to depict both a celebration of classical art and a challenge to reframe beauty standards through the lens of cultural diversity. The setting and scale suggest an encompassing experience, as well as a thought-provoking statement.
