Tito et Mulk

Tito/Mulk is, before all, an encounter between two people passioned about drawing. Both of them studied graphic design : they met in an advertising agency where they used to « decorate » the open space with impertinent scribbles.

Since then, they never left each other. They quickly moved from paper to canvas : now, they try different supports, such as walls, furniture or sculptures. The duo also produces installations and customizes objects taken form pop culture or street culture.

The two former members of the 59 Rivoli now present their work in galleries and collaborate with prestigious brands such as Adidas, BMW and the Paris-Saint-Germain. They describe themselves as members of the « figurative/narrative » movement. They also enjoy live painting on different occasions such as the Context Art Fair Miami.

The work of Tito/Mulk reinvents a rich world with a new aesthetic : this work's origin is the fear of a life precisely planned. The contrast between black and white brings out an opposition to oppression, so as to denounce the great contemporary sufferings. Through this total commitment, Tito and Mulk compose «exquisite corpses» in a perfect harmony.

Their plastic vocabulary finds its roots in their childhood imagery but also in their desires. The Superheroes and metamorphic monsters universe mixes sex, drug in a destabilizing antagonism which is actually characteristic of our current society.

The density of their designs accentuates this hysterical jungle. However, the harmony and expertise regarding the organization of the different plans and perspectives, reveals the artists' true intention, which is to find balance and make their way into this confused global situation.

Denouncing is no longer enough. Tito/Mulk are closer to nowadays preoccupations: they search a road, they open a path.
