Cokney: Chiaroscuro

SPECTRUM Verified independent store

→

Cokney has been painting since 1999, focusing primarily on trains and subways. Arrested in 2012 and again in 2014, he faced damage fines, judicial controls, and conspiracy charges. Chiaroscuro is his first publication, divided into two inseparable volumes exploring the duality between art and illegality. The first volume, "Chiaro," consists of 160 Japanese-bound pages folded to conceal a selection of photographs documenting the artist's work. The second volume, "Scuro," features photocopied investigative documents, providing an alternative perspective by showcasing Cokney's illegal activities through the lens of the French Anti-Graffiti Brigade. Size: 16.5 x 24 cm. Show more
