Description

In this work, Lasveguix explores the technique of collage and torn posters to revisit a well-known graphic icon: the Marianne popularized by Shepard Fairey (Obey) . At the center, the stylized and ornamented face emerges through layers of colorful, typographic and handwritten posters, creating a game of progressive unveiling.

The composition gives the impression of a fragment torn from an urban wall , like a section of visual palimpsest where successive layers of display tell a collective story. By mixing the visual universe of Obey — a symbol of resistance and counterculture — with his own visual language, Lasveguix composes a piece that is both raw and poetic.

The tears, overlays, and textures echo the materiality of the street, where images crumble and reinvent themselves over time. The work thus questions the tension between icon and contemporary appropriation, between shared memory and personal expression.
