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.
