Jo Ber

Jo Ber was born in 1983 in the suburbs of Paris. Cradled in comics and hip-hop, Jo Ber does not take long to grab hold of pencil and paper.

Compulsive draftsman, he grew up at the foot of La Défense, which quickly became his playground. He made his first paintings in the street shortly before the year 2000, not resisting the embarrassment of choosing street furniture. Graffiti, paintings, fanzines, comics, sculptures, Jo Ber works his bases by varying the pleasures.

Coincidence or coincidence, the European borders are blurred under the rails of the railway networks shortly before the desire takes him to leave to discover other decorations. He quickly developed a fascination with trains, those metal monsters that roam cities, countries, and continents. Jo Ber walks us on the avenue of his figurative imagination, between clear lines and underground comics, Neo-Sumerians and theory of relativity, with a pronounced interest in urban mythologies and ancient ghettos.
