At first it was a joke and now ..., 2020

Bze Bzeland  

Bze has been tagging since he was 12. He writes on his school table, his clothes, the walls and public transport in his environment.

In parallel with university studies in photography and cinema, Bze explored the underground corners of Europe with his film camera, hunting for the aesthetics of the road, the street, the margins and its people. Since 1999, through exhibitions and slideshows between Granada and Rotterdam, he has shared his thousands of slides. In 2006, Bze finalized his photographic journey with a book called Overground, confusing travelers published by Éditions Alternatives. A unique, almost sociological look, revealed by a selection of more than 600 photographs of the counterculture with its communities, demonstrations, squats, free parties...

Following his meeting with the artist Nef, they created the Nef&bze© graphic studio (focused on electronic music).

Returning to his roots, the aesthetics of the letter, Bze devotes himself in the studio to painting on canvas or paper. His contemporary calligraphy, Neo-writer, tends towards minimal abstractionism.

An artistic journey marked by diversity and authenticity, a thirst to share.
