Mister Marcus  

Whether he signs his paintings ''Mister M'', ''Marcus'' or ''M2R'', he will answer you mischievously: “Call me Mister Marcus! ".

Born in the 70's, Mister Marcus grew up in the Paris suburbs.

In his high school years, he experienced the explosion of Hip Hop and Street Art in France like a big slap in the face!

From this time, he has preserved the words, the humor, the sense of rhythm and the love for stencils and lettering...

Closer to the Rock scene, he abandoned his spray paint to develop a more detailed style, closer to Pop Art by integrating his passions for music and comics.

His style is recognizable at first glance... with all the squares that make up his works.

As far back as he can remember, he has always drawn them; and in all moments of his life, this geometric form has always accompanied him.

He likes to throw them on his canvases like photos torn from an old album. He likes to play with them, manipulate them, upset them, pile them up... until he gives them a new meaning. He enlivens them with Pop colors, confronts them with other forms... and enjoys transporting them into improbable universes.

In his “Collec des 27”, Mister Marcus gives us around thirty works on a theme that is dear to him: Rock artists who died in their 28th year.

All works have the same format: 120 x 80 cms.

Made in acrylic based on a series of templates, each piece is unique.
