Subway Station : Abbesses or Anvers
Born in Paris in 1979, I am a mass media child. Advertising posters are my wallpaper, TV is my window to the world. I have been raised by the communication flow, saturated with shapes and colors, fantasy and violence, fashions and statistics, insignificances and essences.
In my work, creepy characters caricaturing our society come on stage and evolve on a post-apocalyptic battle field, at the same time fairy-like and rusty, in a place somewhere between a theme park and the Gobi desert…
Just like science fiction, I deal with current concerns, such as ecology, hyper consumption, spirituality, violence, by imagining a futuristic world, synthesis of Mad Max and the Wonderland.

My Interests

Art, Pop Surrealism, Lowbrow art, the planet, politics...

I'd like to meet:


Joseph Stiglitz, artists, art dealers, creative people and other weirdos!

Music:

The Most powerful Art media

Movies:

Twelve Monkeys, Fight Club, American History X, Blade Runner, Memento, Usual Suspects, Mulholland Dr, Matrix, Star Wars, Lord of the Ring, Shrek, Toy Story, Zoolander, Tim Burton, Ridley Scott, David Fincher, Christopher Nolan, Peter Jackson and so on

Television:

A great source of inspiration and a wonderful brainwasher, I love it

Heroes:

We are all Fat Blind Supermen/Wonderwomen
