Marianne Obey

Description

This work is a vibrant urban collage of Lasveguix , composed of superpositions of torn posters and artistic interventions typical of street art. At the heart of the work, we find a modern and revisited interpretation of the famous French republican triptych "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" in homage to Obey. The posters present a stylized Marianne, an emblematic female figure symbolizing the French Republic, wearing a flower headdress.

The colours blue, white and red dominate the composition, evoking the French flag. However, the deliberate defacement of the posters, the tears, and the paint splatters add a chaotic and textured dimension, perhaps symbolising the struggles and imperfections of these republican ideals in the contemporary world.

At the bottom of the poster, abstract patterns, graffiti and pixelated elements contrast with the initial message. This mix of classic art and urban culture reflects Lasveguix's own aesthetic, which draws inspiration from both street art codes and timeless political messages.
