Wire





Born in 1978, Erwan Wire alias Wire 978 is a French artist from urban culture.

Passionate about painting and illustration, he immersed himself very early in the world of comics.

It was upon his arrival in the Paris region that he discovered a real interest in Graffiti and Street Art.

After studying in the Faculty of Fine Arts and training in Schools of Applied Arts, he joined an Advertising Marketing agency as a Graphic Designer / Illustrator.

A prolific and multidisciplinary artist, he participates in numerous artistic and socio-cultural events in France and across Europe (Germany, Belgium, Burkina Faso, Canada, Spain, Portugal….)


Inspired by Action painting and Calligraphy, his very spontaneous work is based on energy and movement. He mixes his inspirations with the purest traditions of Graffiti on the wall, but also on different mediums of expression (Canvas, Zinc, Wood, Plexiglass, glass, clay ...) allowing him to experiment with new creative techniques.

In a different approach from what he can achieve in the street, in his workshop he presents a more abstract universe, favoring rhythm and body language. A combination of lines, curves and colors that give a musical and dynamic sense to his compositions. The body being an integral part of the work, he constantly navigates between painting and music and continues to juggle with words as with colors.

Cannibal letters



Originally from Paris, graphic designer and passionate about drawing, Cannibal Letters started in 1999 under several pseudonyms before really asserting themselves in 2010 under this name.


At the center of his work is typography, his passion, but also a world of comics and illustrations in which he finds an inexhaustible source of inspiration.

With him, letters are eaten with all sauces and without moderation. On all possible supports, from drawing to canvas, from baseball bats to motorcycle helmets, of course on the walls.

His artistic research is indeed focused around the letter that he raises to the rank of main subject in his work and that he uses in all its forms without excluding the addition of illustrative elements such as characters or other objects of everyday life to complete his universe.


The letter alone is no longer the only excuse to produce, he also tries all the techniques. Acrylic paint, spray paint, graffiti to screen printing, or even scenography like at LAB 14 and REHAB 2 while trying to develop his work on each project.

Dante



Passionate about drawing since childhood, Dante discovered graffiti when he was a teenager. He then became interested in letter writing and painted his first walls in Brittany, where he came from.

Subsequently he lived successively in several cities and the meetings he could make there nourished his creativity and opened up new perspectives for him.
In parallel with the letter he likes the character and his paintings begin to transcribe stories gradually.


Upon his arrival in Paris in 2015, he discovered a new scene and a new city which was for him an inexhaustible source of inspiration. His character continues to evolve in this new setting and then transcribes stories from his daily life.
Besides that, he also discovers workshop work and likes new supports for creating.

FAST, initiated by SAN TRP, began graffiti in 1986, painting in Stalingrad, Garibaldi or Mouton Duvernet. From 1988 to 2000, he focused on painting on rolling media (metros and trains) and was recognized for his graphic quality and his elaborate characters.


Activist of "real graffiti", his work on canvas is an extension of this universe. It belongs in particular to the TNB, UV TPK, 156 and BANDIDOS crew groups.

Move



Move took its first steps in hiphop culture in b-boying in 2006. A few years later, inhaling the smell of solvant and paint, graffiti entered.


Professional animation and holder of a BPJEPS, he endeavors to transmit through courses, workshops and interventions hip-hop culture and its universal values.

During his meetings and travels around the world, he discovers his style through a new and surprising technique which he calls « Eclatax ».

The technique of making a hole in a spraycan, pressure paint is expelled uncontrollably. Through the « Eclatax » technique, Move gives a very particular dynamic to his painting, embellished by his gesture as a hiphop dancer and his particular link to movement.

Pone



Ponè was born in the western suburbs in the summer 1985. He discovered graffiti in the 2000s while watching the graffiti pass along the train line for Paris.
At first rather observant, discovering the tag with a simple marker, he quickly took a liking of spray paint, for larger and more colorful graffiti.


It was around 2006 that graffiti took an enormous place in his life, spending his time in Paris, due to legal walls during the day, less authorized excursions at night. Following numerous meetings, a close-knit team is created, group memberships too, AOC then KSF, NAM and VMD.


Ponè tasted on all supports; walls, blinds, trucks, trains, metros, in France and abroad (Italy, Spain, Greece, Belgium, Eastern Europe…) After having done some paintings, as well as some exhibitions, he quickly returned to the basis: real graffiti.


Today quieter, he still enjoys colorful walls during the day, and remains on the lookout for a night out.

Vision



Vision was born in 1971 in Pantin and grew up in Montreuil in the Paris suburbs.


In 1983, he was 12 years old and like many teens his age he did not escape the surge of hiphop that invaded France. After having tagged a few months without really understanding the meaning, he made his first graffiti in 1986 and founded the group "Purple Kidz" in reference to a famous song by Prince.


In the 90s, he showed many colors in the Ile-de-France with his group Outlaw Crew. Railways, trains, subway trains, vacant lots, nothing escapes them.

Recognized artist of international graffiti, his name will mark the mind of a whole generation of writers as he will have painted and written it.

Self-taught, he has also turned to painting on canvas since 1990, with daily workshop work since 2001. He takes part in numerous festivals, solo and group exhibitions in Paris, in the provinces and abroad (TAG at the Grand Palais, Manish Arora haute couture show, ParisToutPetit in partnership with Arcurial…)


Today recognized for his work on canvas as on wall Vision is one of the most prolific writers. Few of his generation are still active as he is.


In 2016 he celebrated 30 years of graffiti and does not seem ready to stop.

Vinie



Originally from Toulouse, Vinie draws and paints since childhood. But it was in high school that she learned graffiti. The lettering allows her to master this new technique. The jams and other collective frescoes push her to diversify towards the creation of sets and characters.


An artistic director position led her to Paris in 2007. Upon her arrival, she intuitively turned to more personal figurative work. She then exhibited on the walls of the capital her own character; a feminine figure between doll and pin-up that we recognize by her changing hairstyle.


Comfortable on canvases as on walls, in June 2014 she signed an Opus Délit “Full of colors” at Criteria Editions, and produced her first installations, solo exhibitions and abroad.


Her meeting with Anti, plastic artist, allows her to discover the world of volume and to carry out with him his 1st sculpture in 2016.


Today, she participates in international festivals of urban art and exhibits her character around the world. She thus combines her two passions, painting and travel.

Yone Aka Acme Welsch SMF v13 "I started in 95/96 when I saw the taggers and graffiti artists in the Dunois field (13th) and Paris was a hit.
And with friends we created the NSK crew (wedge, kerto, beep, brek, caro, hole, moon etc ...) It was a time of tag especially. The crew still lives today with younger but very active people.

Then I got a big ratp issue. I calmed down but I could never let go, I went to graffiti and more in-depth letter work.


Later I came back v13 which is a crew made in 75013 and in Switzerland I came back SMF (crew vandal) and welsch (team of friends to make big walls) since I am still there to work my letters style wild style, bubble style »

"Zoyer AOA V13 GB NSK 3UP ACR DMG. I am 22 years old and come from Pas-de-Calais.

I have been doing graffiti for less than 10 years and mainly draw letters through the wildstyle. I draw my inspiration from my references from the world of graphics and the world of design in general that I associate with "traditional" graffiti.

I like to work on the relationship between composition and color to obtain a very dynamic and impactful painting."
