Two Twenty
120cm x 120cm - Mixed media on French linen, 2021
At the end of 2021, Airbus invited artist Cyril Kongo to collaborate on the interior and exterior design of the ACJ Two Twenty (ACJ 220) private jet. Kongo, with the spirit of Joie de Vivre - Ẹnjoyment of life, has turned ACJ 220 into a contemporary art gallery in the air. It offers an experience which has never appeared before. The work “Two Twenty” was born from this memorable collaboration. The work is inspired by the movement, speed and dynamics of the aviation industry. Combined with Kongo's graffiti letters, it implies the beauty of life's colors. It is the playfulness of the hot palette, the gentleness of the pastel or the contemplation of the dark colors. The work is a proud mark as Kongo once again brings graffiti to a new universe, which continues the journey of taking this art from the ruined walls of Paris to conquering new standards and reaching far beyond justice.
