Created in 2012, the Monkey Bird Crew (MBC) collective is made up of two young artists from Bordeaux, Temor and Blow the Bird (or The Blow).
Stencil artists, known for their precision and refined cut, completely handmade, they specialize in metaphysical architectural representations where Bird (« Blow ») and Monkey(« Temor ») coexist.
Inspired by geometry, mechanics, cosmology and astronomy, they develop their work by using many types of mediums, illumination and calligraphy. Moreover, they have the obsession of including an animal presence on walls of cities. These animals, aren't very different from the famous children fables, and playfully sends us back to our human preoccupations, midway between freedom of desire and elevation (symbolized by Bird) and the material/corporal obsessions, from which man can't cut loose.
They've put a lot into city walls of (Paris where they live, Lille, Bordeaux but also Amsterdam, New Delhi, several cities in Mexico), they also produce works on several other recovered mediums such as
(wood, metal, glass) and paper.
