ABOUT THE ARTWORK
'Drink your soul' is one of the first pieces of my new 2019 series 'Nowness in B&G'. It was realised in my studio in NYC. 'Nowness in B&G' (B&G-Black & Gold) regroups several small sizes works that capture nowness in society. It can be based on personal photographs of everyday life or images I am captured by. This piece is made to show the relationship of our society with alcohol and it can be read and displayed in two ways: the woman in gold on top, or at the bottom. In one situation, the woman in black drinks a gold bottle and her reflection and inside turn to gold. In the other, the woman in gold drinks a black bottle and her reflection and inside turn to black. This is a metaphor for the two outcomes of alcohol on our system. Excess of alcohol is judged differently whether it applies to women or men and for that reason I choose to have a woman portrayed. The artwork has a signature and an arrow for each position. The title 'Drink your soul' is a wordplay using the French saying 'boire de tout son soul' (to drink in copious amount) and I kept the word 'soul' which reads differently yet appropriately in English. TECHNICAL DETAILS Some parts of the painting have liquid metal (gold) which gives the painting another beautiful dimension under different lighting. The artwork is sold mounted, framed and ready to hang. The frame is an elegant metal frame in a gold colour that matches the gold of the artwork.

Oscar Lett
United States
Best known for his cross-cultural approach, Oscar Lett stands out by his bold looking paintings prominently using black and contrasting metallic colours. Based in NYC, the Parisian artist loves to embrace the influences of the countries he lived in. After moving to London to study at Central Saint Martins, Oscar then moved to Kyoto as he sought teaching from the masters of Nihonga (traditional Japanese painting). Appropriating each culture and their aesthetics, O.L. developed a unique style depicting a world where opposites can coexist and where people overcome their struggles in impossible urban jungles. Working in large-scale and always craving bigger, Oscar naturally moved to New York in 2016 and made the street his new playground. Since then Lett has been developing a wide portfolio of murals in Europe and the U.S., allowing his fine art and street art practices to inspire one another.
