Daum - Crystal Singapore with Love by Kongo 50 Ex

Street art or urban art was born in France in 1968. This contemporary artistic movement traces its origin to the graphic disciples that varies from comics to posters.

Cyril Kongo, is a self-taught artist who has established himself over the period of 20 years, in the artistic field and the French culture, both in Europe and worldwide. His mastery of discipline and his membership in the mythic group MAC for over twenty years, have made him one of the major representatives of the graffiti world.

During an artistic encounter on the streets of Paris one summer evening, Daum was fascinated by the demonstration of Kongo, and decided to give a new dimension to this art, crystallizing the iconic object of this universe ‹ the spray-paint can.

For Daum, Kongo has created Singapore with love, Paris with love and New York with love, three spray-paint cans which are made of Òp‰ te de cristalÓ, with a spray tip in gold. The artist makes each piece unique by personalizing it one by one. This association of Daum's "pâte de cristal" and the colourful universe of Kongo seems obvious. Live the life you love, love the life you live, is the philosophy that the well-known graffitist tries to communicate through his works. With Daum, Kongo has found an astonishing medium to express his art.

French painter and graffiti artist Cyril Kongo partnered with Daum to create this sculpture series of the iconic object of his universe: a can of spray paint. This series, titled "With Love," comprises three spray paint cans made of "pâte de cristal" with an 18-carat golden spray tip carrying the artist's fingerprint. Every piece is unique and individually designed by the artist himself.

Since 1878, Daum has created world renown art pieces out of their crystal studio in Nancy, France. Every crystal piece by Daum is signed with "Daum France" to signify its origin and quality. Pâte de cristal is a Daum speciality; a precious material that gives their creations a sculptural depth and dimension, which has been refined unceasingly over time. Pâte de cristal has the quality of giving translucency to the forms it reproduces and the brilliance of this material, the intensity of colors and the myriad subtile shades all contribute to Daum’s unique methods.
