L'enfant Sauvage  

L'enfant sauvage is a young artist born in Marseille. He bombed some walls of the cities where he passed, always drew from a very young age everything that inspires him, and this even before discovering graffiti at the age of 11.

Since then, he never stopped, and tried to evolve his "wild style", hence his nickname: The wild child. After his multiple sessions on the ground, and in Vandal, and in parallel with his personal evolution, he asked himself a question.

Given that we consider graffiti as an art, and that according to him, what defines art is timelessness, why make graffiti doomed to be erased or ironed, and therefore having a limited duration in time?

From that moment on, he always wanted to transcribe the sensations and the universe of graffiti, its brutality and its freedom, without falling into the cliché of a simple lettering work, using only the main markers which for him define this art. This by going straight to the point and without frills.

For this, he uses techniques and objects directly related to graffiti for his works.

The main source of inspiration is the human, its excesses, its idiocies, its loves.

He wants his inspiration to be present in each of his paintings, so as not to be satisfied with a simple tag on canvas, but to expand the vision of graffiti to a more minimalist art.
