Aket's monumental neo-cubist painting, "St. George and the Dragon," is a breathtaking reinterpretation of the legendary tale of the courageous knight battling the fearsome dragon. Measuring an impressive 300 cm in width and 210 cm in height, the artwork commands attention with its striking black, white, and grey color palette. The bold geometric shapes and fragmented forms evoke the spirit of the early 20th-century cubist movement, while simultaneously showcasing Aket's unique, contemporary flair. The central scene depicts St. George, a symbol of good and virtue, locked in fierce combat with the dragon, an embodiment of evil, power, and luck. Aket masterfully balances the tension between the two figures, as they grapple for dominance within the painting's intricate composition. The fragmented forms and deconstructed figures create a dynamic sense of movement, powerfully conveying the intensity of the struggle. Incorporated seamlessly into the artwork are words in French and English, reflecting the artist's live performance and his thoughts on art, life, and music. These textual elements add a layer of depth and intrigue, inviting viewers to ponder the multifaceted nature of the battle between good and evil. Aket views "St. George and the Dragon" as a representation of creativity and creation triumphing over the challenges of the art world. The colossal size of the painting allowed him to make a bold statement at the prestigious French art exhibition, Solid'Art, and helped the work to stand out among its contemporaries. "St. George and the Dragon" is a testament to Aket's artistic prowess and his ability to reimagine a classic legend through a modern lens. This exceptional piece is poised to become a treasured addition to the collections of discerning art collectors and curators worldwide.

Presentation
Aket Kubic, born May 20, 1989 in Grande-Synthe, northern France. He is a French contemporary street artist whose work transcends national borders. Growing up in an artistic environment, Aket made his first encounters with art during adolescence. It was then that he discovered graffiti and signed his blaze "Aket" for the first time, a pseudonym that is a caricatural reference to a peculiarity of his face.
Aket Kubic interprets everyday life, transforming routine and simple ordinary scenes into positive and surprising visions that speak to everyone. His work brings new perspectives to traditional scenes, giving the viewer a fresh outlook on the mundane.
Through his creation, Aket defies the codes of cubism, accentuating forms using techniques of urban art. His unique style is immediately recognizable, characterized by an emphasis on geometric objects like cubes and a playful, experimental approach to art.
In 2021, Aket created "Mr Tarin," an iconic and caricatural character representing a stereotypical Frenchman. Mr Tarin, with his red nose symbolizing wine and blue beret, quickly became a signature element of Aket's art. In 2023, Aket embarked on the series "Fights," a comprehensive and timeless subject exploring the stories and relationships that unite people. His work in this series continues to showcase his distinctive style and narrative ability.
Aket's growing prominence in the art world was solidified when he was selected by Coca-Cola for their global MASTERPIECE campaign, confirming his status as a reference in artistic circles. Aket Kubic continues to engage in an experimental and playful approach to art, using his creations to explore and present personalities and subjects with a stylistic closeness to cubism. His vibrant and dynamic work remains a testament to his ability to breathe new life into the ordinary and make it extraordinary.Aket Kubic, from his graffiti beginnings to his current status as a celebrated contemporary street artist, has made a significant impact on the art world. His unique approach to everyday life and cubism, combined with his playful experimentation, ensures his place as a significant figure in contemporary art.
