La réputation ne fait pas le style, 2021

Ary Kp  

ARY KP was born on July 25th, 1970. Parisian, she lived and works in Fréjus (France).

Coming from a group of street artists assets in Paris in the nineties, she has never left this form of free expression.

She does not practice any more similarly: during two decades she photographed all tags and graffiti she met along her way and constituted a large photographic collection. At the beginning, during her travels, since in a more operational way, helped by international photographers who share her passion.

The idea is remarkable: to make elements collected an universal alphabet and, thanks to them, create an alphabet from them his own iconography, as would have made it a painter of the XXth century mixing the paint touches of Bonnard, Cezanne, Monet, Van Gogh …

Homage to urban art therefore, to photograph, to images, to pictorial.
His iconography multi origin, with strong chromaticism, declines in mosaic and represents idealized selfies. From the beginning, they present themselves to us as an irresistible sweet. Then, nuances light a form of gravity, every square takes sense, eyes question and emotion reigns …
ARY KP embraces the spirit of our time to explore the intimate issue of happiness.
