Description
Francky Boy, François Sevehon (1954–2025) Conceptual Art – Black Paintings 1987 Acrylic on canvas, signed and dated lower right 58 x 71.5 cm Condition report: Framed Associated with the Figuration Libre movement (the Di Rosa brothers, Robert Combas, Rémi Blanchard, François Boisrond…), the Musulmans Fumants were set to shatter the conventions of good taste whilst maintaining an aesthetic connection with their predecessors in Narrative Figuration (Hervé Télématique, Valerio Adami, Jacques Monory, etc.). Their lively and provocative style, direct and often conveying a political message, perfectly matches their punk spirit. Little by little, they took Paris and England by storm: in the 1980s, they decorated the Parisian nightclub Le Palace on several occasions, created a mural at Coluche’s house in 1984, and at the Limelight nightclub in London in 1987… Francky Boy designed the cover for the band Téléphone’s album *Un autre monde* in 1984, created a major mural at Coluche’s home, and another at Guy Savoy’s in 1992, amongst other works. The group split up in 1990, but Tristam and Francky continued their careers as painters, each going their separate ways. In an interview for *Paris Magazine* in 1987, a certain David Bowie said: “I dream of meeting this brilliant group of artists, Les Musulmans Fumants. What they do is very Dadaist, full of humour. Everything I love.”
