About the Item

Contemporary street art Diptych aerosol on canvas by French artist Harold Maka. "Les Trois Chanteurs Bucoliques" (The Three Pastoral Singers). Signed bottom left. The painting is in two parts, one above the other, and can be hung with as much distance between the two as required. An intriguing, amusing and highly colourful painting of the three characters in one of Virgil's poems. Each face is full of character and highly decorated. A painting with great impact and energy. The story of the poem is that Menalcas comes across a herdsman Damoetas, who is herding some animals on behalf of a friend. The two men exchange insults and then Damoetas challenges Menalcas to a singing competition. Menalcas accepts the challenge, offering some decorated cups as a prize, but Damoetas insists that the prize must be a calf, which is more valuable. A neighbour Palaemon agrees to judge the contest. The second half of the poem is the contest itself, ending with Palaemon pronouncing it a tie. 'Harold Mak' aka philibert is a Graffiti Artist, who lives and works in Rebouillon, a small hamlet at the gates of the 'Haut Var' in Southern France. He had two passions from a very young age: comic strips (Fred, Drilles, Moebius) and role-playing games. While working on drawing like his “masters”, he pursued his studies and obtained a DUT in mechanical engineering with specializations in robotics and computer science. However this did not fulfil his artistic needs and so he joined graphic designers' collectives ("the farting dog" and "the prod lab") in the Var and focused on illustration. A stint at the LEP “Lycée d’Enseignement Professionnels” in Fréjus as a teaching assistant made him aware of the value of passing on skills; this work in collaboration with applied art courses lasted 4 years. It was during this period that he occasionally joined the painter and sculptor Bernar Venet's as his assistant. From 2008 to 2010, he prepared paintings and worked under the direction of the artist for major international exhibitions. Now Harold Mak is a full-time graphic designer and collaborates with Crom on numerous “Chez Marcel” animation projects. It is with the latter that he now regularly participates in exhibitions and performances. In 2013 he joined the B.I.P “Plastic Intervention Brigade” created by the Bazar du Lézard, their objective: to meet the public, bring a little colour and pleasure into everyday life, share their passion. In 2014 with Tomax and Crom they founded the collective T.H.C (Tomax. Haroldmak. Crom). 3-member exhibition and live performance collective. That same year he also joined the “The Lizard Theatre”, (a theatre and street performance company) as a graphic illustrator and scenographer. Harold also works with young people with disabilities, in artistic workshops with L'ADAPT du Var (association for the social and professional integration of people with disabilities) and ADAPEI (departmental association of parents and friends of people with mental disabilities). After a meeting in 2016 with PAD, an artist metal sculptor, together they set up "les Bidon'arts" creators of recycled, transformed cans intended to enrich spaces. Harold also gives graffiti lessons at the University of Toulon.
