Description

GULLY (1977) Mondrian, Picasso, Magritte, Saint-Phalle & the Children meet Koons and Picasso Large oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right. Dimensions: 93 x 150 cm Provenance : - Gully studio - Acquired by the current owner from the artist's agent Sold with artist's certificate in 2020 "In every child, there is an artist. the problem is how to remain an artist as you grow up." Pablo Picasso. Gully is first and foremost a humorous comic strip character created in the early 1980s by Didier Makyo and Alain Dodier. It's also the pseudonym chosen by a former graffiti artist who cultivates anonymity to free his studio practice. An adept hijacker, Gully mixes all currents, from hyperrealism and pop art to surrealism and cubism, to create a facetious, narrative pictorial work that traverses the history of art with the eyes of children. Juggling representations and interpretations, his stagings celebrate both his idols (Lichtenstein, Rockwell, Basquiat, Murakami, Warhol, Magritte, Picasso...) and the mischievous memories of youth.
