Description: À la Sauvette is an iconic work by French artist Maye, celebrated for his dreamlike universe, elongated characters, and subtle humor. In this composition, Maye captures a whimsical yet critical urban scene, rendered in his unmistakable style.

The title — which translates to “on the sly” or “in a hurry” — evokes clandestine actions or hurried gestures, often linked to street vending or furtive behavior. The artwork features one of Maye’s signature long-limbed figures in an improbable acrobatic pose, caught mid-act in a surreal, almost theatrical moment. The composition overflows with intertwined objects and hidden details, turning every centimeter of the image into a miniature story.

Technically precise and rich with visual anecdotes, À la Sauvette combines social irony, urban poetry, and a gentle critique of consumer society. Influenced by graffiti, illustration, and comic art, Maye infuses the piece with a dynamism that feels almost alive.

Far more than just an image, À la Sauvette is a silent narrative — a suspended moment between dream and reality — that invites the viewer to pause, observe, and smile.
