Mr. D 1987

Mr D., whose real name is Sebastien Boileau was born in Versailles, France. This French artist was influenced by the American Pop Art and Graffiti movement of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. 

He started to make art at the young age of 14 years old, painting in the streets of Paris, in 1987. Mr. D did his first piece of canvas art, and his first large scale mural in 1989. Then, at the beggining of the 90s, he traveled the world painting in different countries like Sierra Leone, Senegal, Tunisia and other western destinations. 

In 1995, he was asked to participate in a contemporary art group show in Paris for the first time. He moved to the United States in 1998, where he created in 2000 what is now a highly successful mural company in Houston, Texas, Eyeful Art Murals and Designs, serving both the public and private sectors. The company's team of experienced artists have been working with architects, designers, school principals, major companies, and the sporting industry to create unique site-specific artwork, graphics, and murals for indoor/outdoor spaces for public/private sector organizations. 

Mr. D's signature style is known as “Canpressionism“ a neo-impressionist style primarily done with spray paint and street art techniques. “After 28 years as an artist, the stigma remains, and I want to change people's perception in regards to Urban Art. My artistic and personal goal is to use my skills, experience, and credibility to demonstrate an “Urban Art as Fine Art" approach through 'Canpressionism'." he said. Mr. D produced the biggest mural in the history of Houston, in May 2014, the award-winning “Preservons la Creation", ; he also was chosen by Red Bull to exhibit at Scope Miami Art Fair in 2014 and elected as a Liquitex paint brand ambassador and sponsored artist etc… 

Mr. D lives and works in Houston, Texas.
