This (im)relevance upsets the serenity of the premises, while exposing one of the most common paradoxes: Those to whom they&#8217;re addressed love them and want more, since they&#8217;re always the ones who reserve the scoop on his new series. We can put this down to the law of attraction: we&#8217;re attracted by what&#8217;s similar to us; or we can adopt a more practical attitude: they&#8217;re the ones who can afford these prints.<br \/>\nBut it&#8217;s a sincere and constructive approach that Philippe Shangti unveils his work in this highly sought-after venue. In fact, it&#8217;s not for nothing that his delirious imagination has seduced the owner of the premises with its studied aesthetic tinged with provocation. It&#8217;s the profusion of luxury we&#8217;re talking about here: &#8220;So much accumulation, I see it as an overdose. We need to get back to basic values: eating, drinking and sleeping,&#8221; he told mensup magazine.    <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I like to go into subjects we don&#8217;t dare talk about, to show what no one dares to admit to themselves. Alcohol, drugs, prostitution, waste, self-destruction &#8211; those who indulge in them rarely admit it to themselves. They hide their faces, they&#8217;re ashamed, they deny it. Shangti literally rubs their noses in it&#8230; &#8220;If the message is violent, it is sublimated to the maximum.<br \/>\nThe &#8220;No Cocaine Here&#8221; series is aimed at the lost bimbo mistaken for wonder woman when she&#8217;s taken something &#8211; illicit substance or botox, as the case may be &#8211; or the soccer player who&#8217;s lost his way. The use of superhero imagery heralds a blindness to the absurdities of high society, while subtly preserving humor and glamour. Don&#8217;t worry, even if you&#8217;re not a superhero, it&#8217;s worth the detour!  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:
