Casque d'Or Golden Heart Original Metal French Mailbox Letterbox Sculpture by C215- Christian Guémy Artwork by Graffiti Street Artist. 2014 Signed Original Metal Hand Made Sculpture One of A Kind Artwork. Created in 2014, Casque d'Or is a spray-painted artwork on a reclaimed postal box measuring 47 x 12 x 12 inches (119.4 x 30.5 x 30.5 cm), with the artist’s signature and title inscribed on the top as "C215 / Casque d'Or." Part of a series honoring French cinema, this piece pays tribute to director Jacques Becker and features a striking portrait of Simone Signoret, the celebrated star of Becker’s 1952 film Casque d’Or ("Golden Helmet"). Casque d'Or Mailbox Sculpture by C215 – French Cinema Immortalized in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Created in 2014, Casque d'Or is a one-of-a-kind hand-painted sculpture by renowned French street artist Christian Guémy, known globally as C215. Measuring 47 x 12 x 12 inches, this imposing artwork is constructed from a reclaimed French metal mailbox, transformed into a monumental tribute to French cinema and urban heritage. The sculpture features luminous spray-painted portraits, most notably a hauntingly beautiful depiction of actress Simone Signoret, the star of Jacques Becker’s 1952 cinematic masterpiece Casque d’Or. With its vivid yellows and splattered patina, the mailbox retains its identity as a utilitarian public object, while C215 repurposes it as a canvas of homage and cultural memory. The piece is signed and inscribed on the top as C215 / Casque d'Or, anchoring it as both a personal expression and historical artifact within the artist's body of work. C215 and the Urban Poetics of the Forgotten Object Christian Guémy, born in France, has established a powerful voice in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork through his use of layered stencils and emotionally resonant portraiture. Known for elevating everyday city elements—doors, utility boxes, abandoned walls—into platforms for human connection, C215 approaches this sculptural mailbox with the same reverence. His stencils are cut by hand, revealing a meticulous craftsmanship that balances street spontaneity with academic control. In Casque d'Or, Guémy turns attention to Simone Signoret not only as a film legend but as a symbol of strength and complexity. His line work captures her cinematic allure while the placement on a government-issued mailbox speaks to the intersection of national identity, communication, and nostalgia. It is a bold reclaiming of the public surface as sacred ground for cultural storytelling. Spray Paint as Medium, the Mailbox as Canvas Spray paint remains the primary medium in Casque d'Or, reinforcing the graffiti artist's vocabulary while pushing it into sculptural and archival territory. The bright orange and yellow hues reference the classic French postbox color but are intensified by Guémy’s application style—layered, textured, and aged. The mailbox itself, complete with slots and embossed lettering, retains its utilitarian geometry, grounding the fantastical imagery in physical infrastructure. It becomes a sculpture not through removal from the street, but through reinterpretation. The pedestal elevates it further, suggesting monumentality without separating it from its roots in civic architecture. As part of the larger tradition of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, this transformation embodies the genre’s power to repurpose the familiar as a vessel for personal and collective myth. Cinema, Identity, and the Legacy of French Culture Through Street Art Casque d'Or belongs to a broader series by C215 that celebrates French cinema icons, a project rooted in cultural reverence and creative activism. By choosing a symbol of public communication—the letterbox—as the foundation of this work, Guémy underscores the idea that art can speak from the street just as powerfully as from the screen. The portrait of Signoret carries with it layers of French history, femininity, and media influence, while the sculptural format makes it portable and permanent. This fusion of fine portraiture, graffiti tradition, and historic reference places the work firmly in the center of contemporary Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork. It is not only a tribute to a film, but a reminder that the city itself is a gallery, its surfaces waiting to speak, to remember, and to reimagine.

Big Ben & Double Decker Bus Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Mixed Media Screen Print on 200lbs Heavyweight Paper by Bobby Hill Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. Each piece is unique and colors, painting, spray paintings made by hand by the artist are random, vary, and you may not receive the exact pictured item! "I use photographic images as the basis for the art, but I would sometimes draw directly on the acetate before I burn the screens to bring out parts of the images I felt were important. Each piece for this run was individually screen printed and hand-painted using a variety of acrylic and other mediums. Take notice of the colors rather than the image, even though that might be difficult to do sometimes. The colors represent what's going on in my life at any given moment." - Bobby Hill

Lina PP Printers Proof Archival Print by Mateo Limited Edition Print on MEDIUM Pop Artist Modern Artwork. PP Printers Proof 2025 Signed & Marked PP Limited Edition Artwork Size 17x24 Archival Pigment Fine Art Lina PP Printers Proof Archival Print by Mateo French artist Mateo, known for his transformative Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, delivers a powerful cultural statement with Lina, a 2025 archival pigment print in a rare Printer’s Proof edition. Measuring 17 x 24 inches and produced on high-quality fine art paper, this print continues Mateo’s practice of merging portraiture with ornamental textile traditions. Signed and marked PP by the artist, this piece stands as a unique refinement in a limited body of work that celebrates identity, feminine strength, and transcultural visual language. Ornament and Identity in Harmony The subject of Lina is a woman whose direct gaze confronts the viewer with unwavering presence. Her face and form are partially obscured and enhanced by intricate Persian carpet motifs, rendered with exceptional detail and precision. Mateo seamlessly overlays these patterns onto the contours of the subject’s face, creating an illusion that her skin itself is interwoven with global heritage and ancestral memory. The blue and gold palette radiates dignity, serenity, and sacred geometry, inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty of complexity and resilience in modern cultural narratives. Technique and Material Craft The technique employed in Lina reflects Mateo’s signature synthesis of classical craft and urban art aesthetics. This Printer’s Proof was produced using archival pigment processes on 290gsm Moab Entrada paper, ensuring vibrancy and longevity. The embellishment of textile detail does not serve as mere decoration—it functions as a symbol system, deeply rooted in Mateo’s ongoing exploration of symbolism, heritage, and hybrid identity. The crispness of the print, coupled with its ornamental layering, produces a near-sculptural surface on flat paper. Contemporary Global Vision Mateo’s work challenges and expands the language of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork by integrating references from North African, Middle Eastern, and Asian decorative traditions into contemporary Western portraiture. Lina is emblematic of this synthesis, embodying both the raw immediacy of urban street art and the sacred timelessness of cultural craft. The Printer’s Proof format of this edition adds a level of rarity and authenticity for collectors, and underscores Mateo’s emphasis on process, craft, and artistic integrity. Lina is more than an image—it is a meditation on feminine strength, history, and the interwoven layers of self and culture. With its meticulous construction and universal resonance, the work occupies a critical space in the canon of modern figurative and street-rooted fine art, making it a vital acquisition for collectors seeking narrative depth and visual impact.
