Daco

French artist from the southern suburbs of Paris. Having learned his skills in drawing schools, it is in graffiti that he finds his marks. For 20 years and self-taught, he started with classic lettering but was quickly drawn to the WildStyle (complex, almost illegible lettering style). He quickly oriented himself in a destructured, fragmented style in order to create a visual identity, a unique and recognizable graphic style, his favorite areas being wasteland and large walls. He then deploys his identity in illustration, with his series of animals that he calls “graffaune”, a contraction of graffiti and fauna, where his graffiti rub shoulders with a bestiary with geometric, dynamic lines and come to rest on different walls in different countries (France , Switzerland, Chile, Spain, Italy, Reunion Island, Taiwan, Sri Lanka ....) It was in 2015 that Daco had his first exhibition at the Akiza gallery, then in 2016 his first solo show in Taiwan with the Studio 83 gallery simultaneously with a groupshow in Hong Kong. In September 2016 he was invited by the My Street Art Paris collective and the Town Hall of the 12th arrondissement of Paris to come and paint a container on the small belt to revitalize this place of passage, at the end of 2016 he was invited to Roubaix for the clearance sale of art, to paint on a caravan. Its news accelerated at the end of 2016 and then 2017: painting 7m high in Lurcy-Levy (Street Art City), painting in Montargis for the label Valette Festival, live painting during a concert with the collective My street Art (Paris 12th arrondissement). ), painting at the Canal de l'Ourq for the Festiwall with exhibition at the Ourq Blanc in Paris 19th, auctions with the Kiobuy house and the Plus Action Project, invitation to come paint 2 walls in Sri Lanka ...
