About Me



I am an Art addict whose always looking for the next fix. I feel particulary close to the underground art scene which includes Lowbrow Art or Pop Surrealism and other images of the worldwide pop culture today : Kid's Art movement in France and Kawai/Superflat movement in Japan.

I support L'Art de Rien Gallery, the coolest art space in Paris. If you're looking for entertaining alternative art, young artists and affordable pieces of art, L'Art de Rien is the place you've gotta go.
