Jonas "SUN7" Bournat
Expressionist Graffiti, Large Scale, Street Art Drip Painting, J'Adore

Circa 2000

About the Item

French early 21st Century Graffiti, street art, 'drip' painting on paper by Jonas “SUN7” Bournat. The work is signed and titled to the backboard. Presented in fine wood, glass and cloth custom frame. A wonderful large impactful work which also carries a social message. The painting appears to be a play on the publicity adverts of the perfume 'J'Adore' by Christian Dior created in 1999 by Calice Becker. The red texts across the painting reading 'j'adore' and there is a large black 'D' in the centre of the background representing Dior. The work is possibly a commentary on fashion, its positive and negative impacts (such as the use of animal testing) that was and is so current at the time of the works creation. Though Jonas “SUN7” Bournat likes to say that his sensibilities “came from graffiti.” Influenced by New York graffiti culture in the 1990s, Bournat began as a street artist, but then gradually shifted toward multi-media painting using found elements on the street—such as signage and metal plaques. Bournat’s practice draws from a myriad of influences including street art, calligraphic techniques, action painting, and tattoo design. Text is a mainstay in his compositions, though words are not necessarily legible. Bournat is still widely known by his graffiti tag “SUN7”—read in French as sun-sept, a pun for “sunset”—and has said he will consider using his given name as an artist when he is “old and serious.”
