Biography
Arsen is a French artist who is taking his first steps in graffiti. Marked by the freedom and energy of urban art, he gradually developed his own visual language. From his beginnings on street walls, he evolved his practice towards other media: paper, canvas, then wood, which he explores with the same intensity.
His universe revolves around the iKO, iconic black and white characters created from meticulously crafted stencils. These figures, which have become his signature, populate a world that is both familiar and offbeat, where they confront the symbols of our consumer society—logos, signage, and the ubiquitous concrete.
Through this tribe of stylized beings, Arsen questions our relationship to the city, to modernity and to the loss of identity in an environment saturated with visual messages.
Inspired by manga culture and the aesthetics of graffiti, he creates an ironic and absurd universe, a mirror of a society in perpetual tension between uniformity and individuality.
