Laszlo Gonzo
France • 1976
Presentation
Self-taught influenced by Comics and B series, Laszlo Gonzo lives and works in Paris.
As a kid, he's already having fun making little collages. At the end of the 90s, his meeting with the street artist Hao is decisive, and makes him want to draw in the street. He realizes that he has always loved this job and it is the stencil that suits him best. He then discovered the Catacombs, the Parisian squats of La Bourse, Rivoli or the rue Charlot, and was particularly interested in "Do It Yourself", resulting from the punk movement; "you can't buy art, so you do it yourself". His favorite figures come from an alternative dark pop culture, with for example, Frankenstein the monster of Mary Shelley, Wednesday the daughter of the television series "The Addams Family", Robby the robot, of the science fiction film "Planet Forbidden ". Or Fu Manchu, Dr Doom or Boris Karloff. The list is long and not exhaustive. In the rather near future, Laszlo Gonzo plans to expand his work with large formats and in particular the exploration of 3D.
