Denis Meyers

Born in 1979, Denis Meyers is a Belgian urban artist. He studied at the National Superior School of Arts and Visuals of la Cambre, in Brussels, city where he currently lives and works.

Denis Meyers is particularly known for his frescoes and stickers in form of faces, which he calls his "perso", printed and cut out by hand and then spread in the urban space. The artist defines himself as a typographer, a vocation that he inherited from his grandfather, Lucien De Roeck (1915-2002) which created among others the ensemble of the World Expo poster of 1958. It is with him that he started to write and draw every day. His last project led him to paint nearly 25, 000 m² of an abandoned building which was going to be destructed. A pharaonic project in which the artist invested space (doors, roof, facade, windows) and posted his memories, in the form of writings and portraits. About 150 drawing notebooks, accumulated over the past twenty years, served him as the starting point of this project.

In parallel, Denis Meyers signed a collection of sweat and T shirts for the 2016 spring-summer collection of the Belgian brand Bellerose. He had previously collaborated in charitable projects (Plate-Forme, Prévention Sida, Make-A-Wish) and painted on numerous supports : skate boards, bicycle frames, beer glasses for Duvel. He has also performed live paintings during some events.
