“The universal is the local without walls.”
- Miguel Torga
Self-taught artist, Saype an artist in the tradition of Land Art. He paints monumental, ephemeral frescoes in natural environments chosen for their specific history. Whether in mountains (snow-capped or verdant), deserts, beaches or parks, even in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the artist's approach is resolutely contextual, engaging in dialogue and resonating with the site to highlight certain of its characteristics.
Known worldwide for his large-scale Land Art installations, he also creates talented acrylic paintings in which he captures with immense delicacy the beauty and ephemerality of a child's gesture on a window. This poetic series of "buées" is presented for the first time in Shanghai.
