JC Earl "Nothing lasts forever" Speerstra Gallery Switzerland

In his studio in the Paris suburbs, JC Earl strives to freeze what does not last. His wood and ceramic sculptures give new life to spray paint cans, objects that have become myths. Between raw textures and pop colors, he elevates these tools to relics, artifacts of an urban pantheon. Each piece encapsulates an era, a brand, a gesture, as if the memory of graffiti could be sculpted. His references range from Roy Lichtenstein to the advertising codes of the 1970s, which he appropriates to transform the spray paint can into a timeless icon.
