Aesir

Born in 1994 in Tours, and raised in Normandy, Aesir was immersed in art in all its forms from a young age. His passion for creation quickly turned towards a particular interest in pop culture, whose nuances he was able to capture through a unique graphic approach.

Growing up in a world where rock music, pop culture icons and artistic figures were omnipresent, he was deeply influenced by the works and personalities of Andy Warhol, Freddie Mercury, Pink Floyd and David Bowie. These influences shaped his view of art, leading him to a resolutely contemporary artistic approach.

Aesir's career began with two years of studying technical drawing, a choice that allowed him to acquire formal rigor in representing the world. He then continued his apprenticeship at the Beaux-Arts for three years, where he immersed himself in experimentation and visual expression. The teaching he received gave rise to a constant search for new forms and textures, while drawing inspiration from the cultural movements that have shaped modern society. During this period, he began to develop an artistic approach where pop culture and visual art intersect and reinvent themselves.

After a rewarding one-year experience as a professor of applied art, Aesir moved to the world of tattooing, where he practiced for six years. Tattooing became an additional medium, a field of experimentation where he could mix visual culture with human skin. Still a tattoo artist today, Aesir continues to make the body a canvas for personal and emotional expression.

Its artistic approach is based on highlighting emblematic figures of pop culture, personalities and artists who have marked their time. Aesir seeks to awaken their memory, to give them new life in the contemporary world, by highlighting them through stage performances where colors and textures play a primordial role.

Each work, whether graphic, pictorial or tattooed, seeks to capture the dynamics and energy of these icons, while paying homage to their indelible influence on subsequent generations.

Warhol's influences are palpable in his use of bright colours, repetition and mass iconography, while the sonic and visual dimension of the works of Bowie or Pink Floyd inspire immersive and experimental creations. The texture of the works, particularly in the pictorial work, seeks to restore the intensity and depth of the universe of these artists.

By exhibiting his work in galleries, Aesir invites the viewer to immerse himself in the history of pop culture through a contemporary artistic lens, constantly renewing codes and references while paying tribute to those who have shaken up the world of art and music.

Aesir continues to explore the boundaries between genres, blending cultural influences with an aesthetic research that reinvents popular iconography in new and dynamic forms.
