David Gouny is a French artist whose practice is a surgical strike against the « Reality Studio. » Emerging from the pioneering Street Art scene of the mid-2000s, Gouny first disrupted the visual landscape through his systematic exploration of « Le Gras » (The Fat)—using the organic, the overflowing, and the visceral to clog the gears of urban aesthetics.

His current work focuses on the ultimate icon of British structural rigidity: Margaret Thatcher. By isolating and deconstructing her most potent fetish—the Handbag—Gouny performs a literal and symbolic sabotage of reality.

Through the « Iron Bag » series, he explores the friction between elitist power and its material representation. In his world, the handbag is no longer an accessory; it is a weapon of the Control Machine, re-cut and re-assembled to leak the secrets of contemporary history.
