Dream (2023) Sculpture by Charles Stratos

Charles Stratos is a contemporary French artist. He is forging a new world brimming with characters characterized by geometric shapes and imbued with a delightful sense of humor. Stratos invites viewers into a realm that prompts contemplation: is it an escape or an invasion? His artwork, a vibrant tapestry of colors and shapes, serves as a source of joy, surprise, and seduction. In the hands of Stratos, one witnesses the awakening of the child within—a joyous reverie of stars, intergalactic friends, and a celebration of both the differences and similarities that connect us all.

The canvas of Stratos comes alive with compositions as original as the "Stratosians" who inhabit them—humanoids rendered in dazzling colors that exude freshness and cheerfulness. Through a soft graphic design, Stratos narrates the beautiful stories of their daily happiness, painting a vivid picture of a timeless universe where imagination knows no bounds.

In his innovative approach, Stratos embraces stainless steel as the favored material for his playful sculptures. This choice immortalizes the tenderness and well-being of his whimsical universe, capturing moments that transcend time.

The music of Stratos' art resonates, symbolized by a cellist adorned with petals, harmoniously playing in complicit resonance with her instrument. Couples intertwine passionately, mothers cradle their little ones in the supple embrace of sparkling curves - a celebration of life's most beautiful moments.

Charles Stratos defies classification, effortlessly amusing and enchanting his audience. His work extends an invitation to relive the most beautiful moments of life and reconnect with childhood dreams. In the hands of Stratos, art becomes a joyful celebration of the human experience, a testament to the enduring power of imagination and the universal language of happiness.
