Urban Wall of Lasveguix is an emblematic work that captures the raw and authentic essence of the street, drawing direct inspiration from urban walls marked by time, successive interventions, and layers of collective memory. The surface of the work evokes a fragment of the city torn from its context, where ripped posters, traces of paint, graffiti, and spontaneous signs are superimposed. The worn, almost eroded textures interact with vivid, contrasting colors—bright yellows, acid pinks, deep blues, and charcoal blacks—creating a visual tension between decay and vitality. The inscriptions and symbols, partially legible, reveal words, hearts, or universal signs, like fragmented messages left by anonymous individuals. Lasveguix's approach is both instinctive and controlled. Through collage, tearing, and painting, the artist constructs an urban palimpsest where each layer tells a different story. The work thus becomes a living testament to public space, its chaotic energy, and its power of free expression. With Urban Wall , Lasveguix doesn't seek to represent the city, but rather to capture its essence, its scars, and its raw poetry. The work invites the viewer's gaze to wander, to decipher its layers, and to feel the intensity of an art born in the street, deeply rooted in reality and resolutely contemporary.

Urban Wall Basquiat is a powerful collaborative work signed by Jérôme Mesnage and Lasveguix , who pays homage to the legacy of Jean-Michel Basquiat while asserting a style deeply rooted in contemporary urban aesthetics. The composition evokes a city wall marked by time, torn posters, and successive layers of visual interventions. Fragments of posters in shades of yellow, pink, and black, partially ripped, interact with dark areas, tags, and bursts of color, creating a dense, vibrant, and chaotic surface, true to the raw energy of the street. At the heart of the artwork appears the famous white body of Jérôme Mesnager, an emblematic figure of street art, captured in an upward and expressive movement. This luminous figure contrasts with the visual violence of the background and embodies a form of momentum, resistance, and freedom, like a human presence seeking to emerge from the urban tumult. Lasveguix's intervention reinforces the graphic and textural dimension of the whole, through a process of collage, tearing, and layering that echoes Basquiat's radical aesthetic: an instinctive, political, and profoundly vibrant style of painting. The work thus plays on the collective memory of street art, somewhere between homage, reinterpretation, and contemporary reappropriation. Urban Wall Basquiat presents itself as an urban palimpsest, where the history of graffiti, the mythology of modern art, and the raw reality of the street intersect. A committed, vibrant, and resolutely contemporary work, it celebrates the expressive power of urban art as a universal language.

With Urban Malabar , Lasveguix subverts the codes of advertising and popular imagery to reveal their mechanisms and excesses. The central figure, a smiling, retro-style character, seems to emerge from a pile of torn posters and graphic fragments. His deceptively reassuring expression, combined with the raised thumbs-up gesture, evokes a promise of standardized happiness, instantly recognizable yet profoundly ironic. The word "MALABAR," imposing and colorful, stands out like an advertising slogan torn from its original context. Around it, layers of torn paper, splashes of pink paint, and abraded areas convey the visual violence of urban space and the constant saturation of commercial messages. Here, collage becomes a battleground between graphic seduction and the erosion of reality. The chromatic contrasts—bright yellows, deep blacks, off-whites, and touches of pink—reinforce the immediate impact of the work while underscoring its critical nature. Behind the playful, pop aesthetic lies a reflection on consumerism, the repetition of images, and the superficiality of advertising. With this work, Lasveguix situates his art within a direct lineage of street art and pop art, transforming a familiar icon into an ambiguous symbol. Malabar acts as a jarring mirror to our image-driven society, where outward enthusiasm often masks a more fragmented and chaotic reality.

With Pop Skull , Lasveguix revisits the universal iconography of the skull through a resolutely pop and urban language. At the center of the composition emerges a stylized skull, rendered in black and white, almost screen-printed, which stands out as a figure both familiar and unsettling. Its fixed smile oscillates between irony and provocation, recalling the tenuous boundary between popular culture and contemporary memento mori. The artwork is constructed from a dense collage of torn posters, fragmented typography, logos, and media references. The vivid colors—saturated yellows, electric blues, pinks, and blacks—create a striking contrast with the monochrome skull, accentuating its visual impact. This chaotic layering evokes urban walls covered with advertisements, slogans, and ephemeral messages. The tears, torn layers, and abraded areas are integral to the narrative of the work. They reflect the wear and tear of time, the saturation of the image, and the visual violence of our contemporary environment. The skull, a timeless symbol of death, is thus confronted with the excess of signs and consumerism, becoming a pop icon emptied of its original gravity, but imbued with a new critical irony. With Pop Skull , Lasveguix offers a striking work at the crossroads of street art and pop art, where the seductive aesthetic masks a deeper reflection on mass culture, the repetition of images, and the trivialization of symbols. The work stands as a jarring mirror of our times, at once playful, violent, and profoundly contemporary.

With Le Mans , Lasveguix pays homage to an icon of cinema and automotive culture by merging street art aesthetics, urban collage, and collective memory. At the center of the composition appears the intense face of Steve McQueen, the mythical figure from the film Le Mans (1971), embodying speed, control, and a form of raw freedom associated with motor racing. The artwork is constructed from fragments of torn posters, ripped-off typography, and superimposed visual layers, evoking city walls marked by time. The tears, cracks, and erased areas create a tension between appearance and disappearance, like a memory reconstructed from traces. The race number, graphic references, and textual elements reinforce the historical and symbolic grounding of the work. The contrast between the black and white portrait and the bursts of vibrant colors—yellows, blues, greens, and reds—energizes the composition and conveys the energy of the race, the noise, the speed, and the adrenaline of the circuit. This chromatic opposition also underscores the dialogue between past and present, between a timeless icon and contemporary visual language. Through Le Mans , Lasveguix does more than simply represent a cult figure: he reinserts it into the urban space, confronting it with the ravages of time and the visual violence of the street. The work thus becomes a manifesto that is both nostalgic and modern, celebrating the legend, the mechanics, and the collective imagination linked to the mythology of speed.

On this authentic road sign, Lasveguix presents a new variation on his signature urban aesthetic. At the center, a female figure inspired by Obey's iconography emerges from a dense collage of poster fragments, shattered typography, and vibrant colors. The portrait's deep blue contrasts with the layers of torn paper surrounding it, evoking the ephemeral and dynamic nature of city walls. The reflective texture of the panel, still visible beneath the collage, creates a subtle interplay of light and reinforces the contrast between the rigidity of street furniture and the expressive freedom of street art. The panel's red borders frame the composition, a reminder of its functional origins, now repurposed as an artistic medium. The superimposed layers of paper, sometimes worn, sometimes vibrant, give the whole an almost sculptural depth. One perceives the accumulation of time, the traces of passages, the visual narratives that overlap to form a fragment of the city frozen in a moment. With this work, Lasveguix blurs the lines between symbol, raw material, and urban aesthetics. He transforms a utilitarian object into a medium imbued with visual poetry, where the icon is reborn in the heart of urban chaos, between collective memory and artistic reinvention.

On this genuine, repurposed road sign, Lasveguix deploys one of his signature artistic techniques: a vibrant collage, saturated with fragments of posters, shattered typography, and urban textures that seem torn from the city walls. At the heart of this composition emerges the figure of Marianne, inspired by Obey's aesthetic, a symbol of freedom and civic engagement. Marianne's silhouette emerges like a revelation amidst a controlled visual chaos. The torn layers, vibrant colors, and overlapping paper create a sense of depth reminiscent of the natural erosion of urban walls, where posters follow one another, overlap, and ultimately tell a collective story. The reflective background of the sign, partially visible beneath the artistic interventions, creates a striking contrast between the rigidity of the traffic code and the free-spirited energy of street art. The splashes of pink paint, the graffiti, and the artist's signature reinforce the impression of an object taken from public space and transformed into a unique work of art. With this piece, Lasveguix plays on boundaries: those between republican symbol and pop culture, between regulated space and personal expression, between erasure and revelation. The work becomes a fragment of the city, frozen in time, where Marianne is reborn in the heart of urban chaos.

In this unique work, Lasveguix repurposes a real road sign, transforming it into an artistic medium rich in meaning and contrasts. At the heart of the sign, a fragmented collage reveals an iconic image of Charlot, the legendary character portrayed by Charlie Chaplin, sitting with a small dog. This emblematic figure of silent cinema emerges through layers of torn posters, partially legible typography, and overlapping urban motifs. The reflective background of the sign, still visible in places, creates a striking dialogue between the regulated world of road signs and the raw energy of street art. The blackened edges, scratches, and tags added by the artist reinforce the impression of an object taken from the street and reinvented. The layering of textures—torn paper, traces of glue, natural wear and tear, and painted interventions—lends the piece an almost archaeological dimension. Like a fragment of the urban landscape frozen in time, the panel tells the story of the street while paying homage to Chaplin, a timeless symbol of humanity, poetry, and melancholy. By using a medium as codified and functional as the traffic sign, Lasveguix blurs the lines between art, street furniture, and poetic subversion. The work then becomes a hybrid object, both familiar and subversive, where iconic tradition and urban chaos meet to form a piece with a powerful and evocative aesthetic.

This work of Lasveguix boldly reinterprets the iconic Laughing Cow , a familiar figure in French popular culture, by placing it in a vibrant urban setting. At the center of the composition, the famous smiling red cow appears in large format, surrounded by torn posters, raw textures, typographic fragments, and tags that create a living wall, typical of the artist's street art style. The slogan "Vachement Bon" (Very Good) appears at the top, while the bottom of the image reveals, partially hidden beneath torn posters, the inscription "La Vache qui Rit" (The Laughing Cow) . This interplay of superimpositions creates a visual tension between the original advertising message and its contemporary reinterpretation. By blending nostalgia for an advertising icon, street energy, and the poetic chaos of collage, Lasveguix repurposes an everyday symbol, transforming it into an art object. The work plays on contrasts: between graphic cleanliness and urban wear, between smooth imagery and fragmented textures, between collective memory and artistic reappropriation. With this dynamic and expressive composition, Lasveguix places La Vache qui Rit at the heart of his universe: a space where pop culture, street culture and creation meet and reinvent themselves.

This work of Lasveguix embraces a raw urban aesthetic, somewhere between collage, repurposing, and graffiti. The background is made up of successive layers of torn-off posters, typographic fragments, and advertising images reminiscent of the city's saturated walls, bearers of overlapping visual memories. In the center, a black and white visual takes up the iconography of the famous video game Space Invaders , accompanied by the word "LOST", reinforcing the idea of disappearance or wandering in the urban visual chaos. Above, a graffiti in thick and spontaneous black letters announces "INVADER WAS HERE", a direct nod to the street artist Invader and his practice of marking territory with his mosaics. A blue halo in the background highlights the inscription, as if to give it a particular aura, while the torn colors and textures of the posters contribute to the palimpsest effect. The work questions traces, memory, and ephemerality in public spaces: what is glued, covered, scratched, and then reappropriated. It creates tension between popular culture (video games, street art) and the poetic decomposition of city walls.
