M.CHAT (Thoma Vuille) - Silkscreen on postcard "Paris 7/25" 9x14cm - 2019

With this original silkscreen print created around 2019, M.CHAT takes over an old postcard depicting the Place de la Concorde in Paris, diverting heritage imagery with the joyful and immediately recognizable irony of his famous yellow cat. The contrast between the historical black and white photograph and the colorful intervention by the artist creates a particularly effective visual dialogue, where past and contemporary creation interact with lightness and intelligence.

M.Chat's cat, an emblematic figure of French street art, emerges in the Parisian landscape as a benevolent and mischievous presence. Its wings, wide smile, and various versions in full flight inject a new dynamic into this urban scene frozen in time. The artwork plays on the layering of eras, combining the monumental solemnity of the Concorde with the free and popular energy of graffiti.

Produced as a silkscreen print on an old postcard in the format of 9 x 14 cm, this piece benefits from an acrylic intervention signed by the artist, enhancing its unique character. Each copy presents variations that make it a standalone creation, far from a simple reproduction. The hand-signed signature affirms the direct connection with the artist and fully integrates the work into his contemporary production.

This creation perfectly illustrates Thoma Vuille's approach, who appropriates unexpected media to engage the history of places with his urban iconography. The choice of Paris, and more specifically the Place de la Concorde, reinforces the symbolic significance of the work, rooted both in the collective imagination and in street art culture.

Presented with a complimentary plexiglass stand, this silkscreen print can be easily displayed as a standalone art object. Within Galerie125, they offer this piece as a fine example of M.Chat's work, at the intersection of heritage, humor, and contemporary urban art, capable of appealing to both street art enthusiasts and Paris aficionados.
