Speedy Graphito

A pioneer of the French "Street Art" movement (contemporary urban art), Speedy Graphito is recognized internationally as one of the major artists of his generation.

Since the early 80s, after the Free Figuration, Speedy Graphito adds the "Graphito Style" to the collective memory and the walls of Paris through his powerful visuals.

Prolific and innovative, SG uses all forms of expression (painting, sculpture, installation, photo or video), to create through his work a universal language expressing the air of his time.

Organized by themes, his successiveexhibits present a universe that is always new and surprising. In a constant evolution and reinvent itself, his art is deep and full of joy, his colors are vivid, shaking in a playful and ironic way our systems of perception.

In this approach, he does not hesitate to take ownership of popular culture images, super heroes, or even brands, thus achieving a quasi-systematic decyphering of our collective subconscious. He declines through his questioning the standards and the norms of our western cultural identity, laying a more poetic dimension on the reality of our society.
