Le charmeur
19" x 22" in
(46 x 55 cm)
Title: "Le Charmeur de Serpent" (The Snake Charmer)
Dimensions: 55x46 cm (21x18" inches)
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
"Le Charmeur de Serpent" (The Snake Charmer) captures a moment frozen in time, where tradition meets the abstract. The focal point is a figure rendered in a kaleidoscope of sharp, geometric shapes, capturing the essence of cubism. His gaze is intense and focused, as if locked in a silent communion with the serpent, which coils gracefully in a metallic sheen. The snake charmer, dressed in attire that blends traditional elements with modern abstraction, suggests a bridge between the ancient art of snake charming and contemporary society's fragmented perception of nature.
The warm, textured background contrasts with the cool, steely grey tones of the subjects, symbolizing the dance of danger and allure inherent in the snake charmer's craft. Aket's use of fragmented shapes to construct the charmer's visage and hands alludes to the multifaceted nature of human interaction with the wild — a mixture of fear, respect, and the desire to control.
This piece might be interpreted as a commentary on the human desire to charm and tame the wild aspects of nature, as represented by the serpent, which has long been a symbol of both wisdom and temptation. The charmer's focused expression reflects the concentration required not only to engage with the serpent but also to navigate the complex relationship humans have with the natural world. Aket's "Le Charmeur de Serpent" is not just a visual experience but a contemplation on the delicate balance between human influence and the untamed spirit of nature.

About AKET
Aket (also known as Aket Kubic) is a French painter who has been a self-taught artist since his early childhood. He was initially influenced by comic books and graffiti, but today his primary inspiration comes from cubism, although he also appreciates the works of artists such as Combas and Basquiat.
From the time he first started creating graffiti, Aket has always signed his art pieces with the name "AKET." It was only ten years later that he began to sign his artwork with this name, which has now become his signature.
Over time, Aket's style has evolved to include deconstructed portraits in which he multiplies elements and shapes of the faces, accentuating the features and lines. His artwork is heavily influenced by cubist painters such as Picasso and Condo, and he shapes faces in a playful, ludic way that can be both abstract and figurative, but always cubic.
In his artwork, Aket likes to draw from everyday life and music, using French jokes and battles of wit to recreate a frozen world from the old days. He enjoys representing life and the many facets of a person, from bistro scenes to musicians. The black lines in his paintings highlight the different and complex shapes of a face.
Today, Aket devotes himself to creating lifestyle scenes both indoors and outdoors. His final step is to give life to the representation of daily scenes and actions, bringing a sense of movement and energy to his artwork.
French Artist Aket was featured in the 2023 Coca-Cola commercial ad "Masterpiece".
