NOTICE
Jacques Villeglé, French artist and pioneer of Nouveau Réalisme, is best known for his torn posters and works inspired by urban walls. In this oil on canvas depiction of Rue Beaubourg, Villeglé transposes his characteristic urban aesthetic onto canvas, capturing the energy and visual chaos of the Parisian street. The work is marked by a superimposition of textures and vivid colors that evoke torn posters, graffiti and the wear and tear of time, symbolizing the city's collective memory and history.
With a mixture of spontaneous gestures and graphic elements, Villeglé recreates the atmosphere of the street as a place of passage, transformation and memory. His technique, mixing abstraction and figuration, recalls his famous torn posters, but here he uses the medium of oil to explore new dimensions of matter and color. La Rue Beaubourg is not only a tribute to Paris, but also a reflection on street art, capturing the poetry and disorder of a living urban space.
Close to the work of artists such as Raymond Hains and François Dufrêne, who shared his interest in urban aesthetics and fragments of everyday life, Jacques Villeglé is today considered one of the masters of Nouveau Réalisme. This oil on canvas from Rue Beaubourg is a rare and precious piece for its ability to transpose street art onto a traditional support, while retaining the raw, expressive energy of the urban world.
