Dave Baranes

Dave Baranes is a self-taught painter. He grew up in the Parisian suburbs where he was passionate about graffiti and Street-Art. Very quickly, his passion for the “wall" led him to create a trompe l'oeil mural. These years of decorative painting allowed him to acquire a perfect mastery of painting techniques but also an opening on more traditional art.

In 2015, Dave dares to embark on a collection of works and will produce felines with striking looks often very colorful, sometimes black and white. A very moving collection where the expression of looks questions us about our own humanity. Success on the networks is immediate ...

In 2018, Dave's works combine all these influences: the backgrounds of his canvases are worked with trompe l'oeil techniques, a clever mix of aerosols and acrylic for the realization of graffiti: with the "Old School" treaty. that Dave is particularly fond of. The more realistic animals illustrate, in this ultra-urbanized setting, the chaos of this world by asking us about the impact of man on our environment.
