DUO (1981) - Art of future

- Original and unique artwork on linen canvas. - Signature on the back, provided with a certificate of authenticity. DUO, born in 1981, is a Parisian artist whose early encounter with graffiti dates back to 1991, when he discovers, in his own neighborhood, an intervention by DARCO (FBI), a major figure in European graffiti. This appearance, a true “visual shock,” marks the starting point of a vocation. From 1998, DUO fully dedicates himself to the world of writing, developing a self-taught practice nourished by more than two decades of intensive exploration of lettering. His work is anchored in the purest tradition of graffiti, in constant dialogue with the codes established by the pioneers of New York and Europe. His travels across Europe and beyond, undertaken to paint in diverse urban environments and transport networks, deeply enrich his style and broaden his visual vocabulary. His aesthetic was long characterized by an attachment to the classic style, influenced notably by the New York and Berlin scenes. These graffiti experiences on trains, encounters, and travel gradually build a graphic signature that is at once rigorous and energetic. Alongside this journey, DUO sees his works enter the art market from the early 2010s. He participates in several auctions, including a first notable sale at Pierre Bergé & Associés in 2013, attesting to the growing interest of collectors in his work. Today, DUO develops a more experimental and abstraction-oriented canvas production, while preserving the same gestural intensity and the same search for movement that characterized his interventions in urban space. His painting, now more introspective, extends and transforms the raw energy of graffiti into a contemporary plastic language.
