Joconde of Berlin est une réinterprétation aussi audacieuse qu'ironique d’un chef-d’œuvre universel. En transposant la célèbre Mona Lisa dans le Berlin contemporain, l’artiste s’attaque aux clichés avec un regard acéré et une touche d’humour : l’image de "la meuf qui revient de Berlin" et son discours saturé d’éloges sur une capitale perçue comme l’apogée du cool, de l’"aware" et de la hype.

Cette œuvre, issue de la série Les Grands, imagine avec exagération comment Léonard de Vinci aurait peint son icône s’il avait arpenté les rues de Berlin en 2023. Ici, l’idée même de limite – entre hommage subtil et pastiche délibéré – est abandonnée, embrassant pleinement le cliché. L’excès devient une langue visuelle et un clin d’œil malicieux à la fois à l’œuvre originale et aux stéréotypes qu’elle incarne.

Avec Joconde of Berlin, l’artiste rappelle que les clichés, aussi caricaturaux soient-ils, trouvent leurs racines dans des vérités culturelles et sociales. L’œuvre invite ainsi à rire tout en réfléchissant, entre admiration du passé et critique du présent.

About the Artist

Anthony Clain est un artiste peintre suisse dont le travail explore la mémoire, l’émotion et le langage à travers une écriture graphique unique : l’art’chive. Autodidacte dans sa pratique artistique, il découvre la peinture comme un exutoire, un besoin vital de poser l’intime sur toile. Son geste est brut, instinctif, toujours guidé par l’instant et le sens.
