Balade (version ambre), 2022

Shane  

A cutler dad, an upholsterer mom: Shane could only have the creative streak and a clear idea of his future profession. No wonder then that he is today, at only 28 years old, a graphic designer who is snapped up by the biggest brands (Nike, Mont Blanc, Puma or Coca-Cola ...). But above all an artist recognized by his peers, he who integrated the world of graffiti even before his majority. Nourished by a multitude of influences, from the American underground to family crafts, from pointillism to typography, including tattooing - he knows how to handle the needle - and "classic" patterns. of Roman pottery, Shane draws his inspiration from the styles he encounters, the techniques he experiments with and the people he meets. Too humble to define himself as an autodidact, Shane has however tried many mediums without prior training, driven by a curiosity which is not a bad thing, on the contrary! Shane thus holds the airbrush and the blur, the abstract lettering mixed with the hyper realistic drawing of motley subjects. Complex compositions teeming with small details to observe attentively which offer several degrees of reading and comprehension. Like a comic whose boxes would have been disordered in order to create a new scenario just as coherent. Members of the TB Crews (for The Bullshitters who later became The Banksters and of which Dashe is also a part) and ODV alongside ASTRO or even REV, this native Norman has put his mark, if not unique at least unpublished, on the Parisian walls. But not only !!! Shane also embellished the architectures of Mexico and Hamburg with large-scale murals. However, not enough for this hyperactive talent who aspires to paint ten-story facades, among other colossal projects. Like getting into post-graffiti, engraving, testing color in "point-art" and mastering the format of the canvas for your first gallery exhibition. But since Shane is brilliant, it will only be a formality.
