JAKÈ X CANOVA
Project absolutely 100% the same

A creative spark lit up Lyon when urban artist Jakè took over the studios of André Claude Canova, an iconic silk master of Lyon's tradition. From this unexpected encounter, "Carrément 100 Pareil" was born, a bold artistic project featuring 100 unique canvases, merging the energy of Jakè's street art with the refined elegance of Canova's silk scarves. For two weeks, Jakè resided at the heart of silkmaking expertise, transforming André Claude Canova's first retrospective into a unique event. The idea? To enhance exceptional scarves, initially created for major luxury brands, with the urban artist's contemporary and spontaneous touch. "My challenge was to ensure that the works were all original by adding my own elements around these motifs, by overflowing..." explains Jakè, emphasizing his creative approach. For André Claude Canova, this collaboration was a unique way to revisit his work: "I really like the idea that the pieces presented here are revisited. And especially by Jakè." The result is a fascinating collection where Mickey Mouse can be seen alongside traditional Lyon motifs, where Jakè's pictorial poetry is immersed in the softness of silk. "Carrément 100 Pareil" is a celebration of the convergence of the arts, a dialogue between tradition and modernity, and a landmark piece in Jakè's artistic career. Rediscover this exceptional collaboration that marked 2019 in Lyon.
