About the Item
Artist: PEZ (Pierre-Yves Riveau)
Title: Balloon Boy
Size: 23 x 12 x 12 in
Medium: Acrylic and Resin
Edition: Unique Original
Year: 2018
Notes: Hand Signed and Dated on Foot. Sculpture for Pez's solo show "SWEET LIFE" in Hoxton Arches - London 2018, Based on an old drawing from 2013 "Balloon Boy". Sweet Life: a first retrospective that encompasses the four ages of life through the artists favorite series. It all starts with the Dream Series which evokes childhood in a satiric way, at the crossroads of black humor and offbeat daydreams. The Destroy Series, with its references to pop culture and video games heroes, is intended as a snapshot of adolescence. The “Green pieces” then take you into adulthood, anticipating a disenchanted world and questioning our ecological legacy. Finally, the Pixel Series concludes this exhibition. The material world disaggregates into a cloud of pixels and becomes abstract, symbolizing the journey to death.

Pez Pierre Yves Riveau
PEZ ,Pierre Yves Riveau, is an Illustrator, painter and graphic designer.The prodigious street artist was influenced at a young age by graffiti and hip hop culture and later a whole host of artists such as Klimpt, Magritte, Escher and Dali, Banksy, Kaws, Bua, Proch, Etam Cru and many more. Pez works to a rather unconventional process, the majority of the time Pez works 100% from his imagination and sometimes the process serves the idea and not the contrary. His smaller sketches, with graphite crayons take 6 to 10 hours and larger works can take anywhere from 40 – 60 hours, sometimes much more depending on the piece. Pez adds a deliberate element of imperfection into his works to ensure that the works aren’t just aesthetic. In the nineties, he was doing throw-ups, later he worked as a professional illustrator and continued to take inspiration from graffiti as well as contemporary artists when he started out as a professional artist. Today, he is renown internationally for his precise drawing skills, humorous subjects matter and detailed content. His works have become highly collectible worldwide.
