Noir Mat

Born in 1965, Noir Mat started drawing at a young age, incited by his father who was a painter. The purchase of a Harley Davidson motorcycle in 1994 triggered his artistic revolution. He went from "Kustom Kulture" to studying aerosol paint. He started to paint on all kinds of vehicles and car parts. He then evolved and returned to painting on a canvas.

He combines the pictorial technique that his father taught him with what he learned during his studies of aerosol paint. His style is hyper-realistic, and shows the extreme attention that Noir Mat pays to the details in his work. Some of his canvases require several weeks of work. His purpose is to immerse the observer in the piece. Even if his favorite subject is still the famous Harley Davidson, the artist has managed to be versitile and does animal and urban representation as well as pin-up portraits.
