Galerie d’Orsay and SEN-1 are thrilled to present this groundbreaking new body of work; a collection of paintings that pay tribute to the iconic Funk, R&B, and Hip Hop albums that have shaped our musical narrative—and the artist’s own artistic practice—for the past 50 years. Just as Hip Hop culture has long believed in the transformative power of self-expression, SEN-1's graffiti art speaks to the same ethos, boldly defying convention. In this new body of work, THE SYMPHONY, each canvas is a dynamic fusion of colors, shapes, and textures, mirroring the energetic beats and lyrical brilliance that have shaped the music industry over the past five decades. SEN-1 masterfully weaves together the stories of Hip Hop and graffiti as cultural responses to a system of oppression that disproportionately affected people of color in the United States. These paintings serve as a powerful testament to the resilience and creativity of marginalized communities who found their voices through art forms that defied the status quo. SEN-1's work is a visual symphony of rebellion and resilience, a reminder that through self-expression and self-knowledge, individuals can reclaim their narratives and rewrite the rules of a society that once sought to silence them. Through THE SYMPHONY, SEN-1 invites you to celebrate the enduring legacy of Hip Hop while acknowledging the vital role graffiti played in shaping this movement. It's a journey through time, a tribute to the pioneers, and a call to continue the quest for self-empowerment and cultural evolution.
