KLEMZ

David Clément, or KLEMS, is a French artist, born in 1993. He has a NVQ in silkscreen painting, and after a high school diploma in Graphic Communication in Montpellier, Clément began spray painting as a self-taught artist, by drawing inspiration from internet or the street.

At a young age, he was influenced by urban cultures and artist interventions which he came across on the internet or on the street, KLEMZ quickly developed a genuine taste for street art, whether it was through precision or botched up. This is when he decided to paint on recovered mediums such as iron curtains, car body parts or wooden fences.

He became part of the collective and ephemeral RIPOSTE in 2013 (Montpellier), then participated and organized the collective exhibition QUATU'ART in 2016 (Vaison, Romania).
