About the artwork

The wild figure of a stallion is seen veering up against the frame in a cut out steel sheet, embedded with the imagery of modern and vintage media, such as the Youtube logo and the opening graphics for the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The overcrowded landscape left behind in its accompanying piece showcases the silhouette of the stallion outlined in a thick black line. Other well-known industry giants from the international mediascape can be spotted, such as Sega's Sonic, Astroboy, Disney and Warner Bro's mascots. Accompanying figures like the pink panther are other conglomerates such as Shell, Coca-Cola, and Toshiba, an emblem to modern society and what symbols are recognisable in cosmopolitan life today. Augste's works encompass a multitude of hidden messages beneath the neon lights and vibrant symbols, free for viewers to decipher what lies beyond its midsts.



About the artist

Born in 1977, French artist Auguste hails from the famed Bordeaux region of France. Though he studied disciplines other than fine arts, Auguste always felt compelled and drawn to the art world. Ultimately he followed his passion for the visual arts, finding his unique artistic vision and voice and is now known for his colorful contemporary Pop Art-inspired and nostalgia-evoking works.
Auguste terms his oeuvre “Generations” as his works revolve around a central theme of pop culture icons from the past. Conjuring memories of previous eras, his pieces depict celebrities, super heroes and other iconic figures, in conjunction with American and French marks to provide the viewer with a reminiscent glimpse of past epochs.
