“50QDLT-1” is the first FF50.- banknote 'Quentin de La Tour' painted by Wxyz. (The FF50. banknote 'Quentin de La Tour' is a French banknote created by the Bank of France on June 15, 1976 and issued on April 4, 1977. It succeeds the FF50. banknote 'Racine' and was replaced by the FF50.-note 'Saint-Exupéry'). This banknote is held by two magnetized plexiglass blocks of 15 x 20 cm. They contain three logos engraved on the bottom of the banknote. The artwork is signed on the back and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Wxyz was born in Paris in 1980, he grew up and still works in the east of Paris. He owes his artistic awakening to the observation, from an early age, of wall inscriptions. Since 1996 he has painted many walls, mainly in the Paris area. Since then, he has enjoyed transforming letters and finding new ways to draw Wxyz using “all the colors of the alphabet,” as he likes to say to children. In his work the letter is more than a pseudonym, it serves as a pretext for the exploration of colors and shapes, as a skeleton for abstraction. Wxyz participated in numerous collective exhibitions and had 2 solo exhibitions in Paris in 2015 and 2020. His last group exhibition took place in Paris in 2020, at the VAO exhibition, alongside big names in street art such as Jonone, Atlas, Arnaud Liard, Jerome G. Demuth, Apostle of Lek.” Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
