Skepa

Skepa is a French painter and sculptor born in 1978. Co-founder of the BAFO movement.

He graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Lyon and began his first approach with graffiti painting in the early 90s.

His meeting with Jone Hopper, with whom he confuses the TBS group and other activists, is a turning point in his approach to art.

Over the years, his painting becomes more experimental, more raw and opens up to new frontiers. He draws his influences from Brauner, Matisse, Corneille, Braque and firefighter art.

Several art critics compare his pictorial production to a UFO with multiple tentacles harmoniously mixing organic Cubism embellished with a touch of unstructured Figurative art, breaking with the sanitized vision of contemporary art.

He is one of the most active artists on the online art market with a “dizzying" production of more than 1,200 works in all mediums.
