ARDPG (1980 - )
ARDPG is born in Périgueux in 1980. He chose this pseudonym in order to better blend in the urban landscape. In the halls of the RATP metro where passersby stride he hangs posters with public service reminders, in metro carriages he diffuses humoristic public notices in the form of pointed aphorisms, which make hurried commuters smile.
BANKSY (1974 - )
Banksy is hiding his true identity behind a nickname. We know nothing about him except that he is from the United Kingdom and was born in the 70’s. His first stencils appeared on the streets of Bristol in England. His mural works always convey a globally antimilitarist, anticapitalist and antiestablishment message. It is through these engaged stencils and performances that Banksy built up his reputation. Apart from his propaganda, Banksy designed quite early some covers mainly for DJs and groups evolving in electronic music.
BEN | Benjamin Vautier (1935 - )
Ben is born on july 1935 in Naples, Italy. He was one of the precursory members of the "Fluxus" movement, along with Al Hansen and John Cage.
It brought Ben closer to the "École de Nice" before becoming one of the main tutelary figures. His message - a few words that hurl truths about anything and everything- directs itself mainly at the spectator’s point of view and not at the mind. Ben took to signing everything that fell into his hands, even the work of other artists, thus denouncing the megalomania of art.
BLEK LE RAT (1951 - )
Born in 1951, it is while traveling to New-York in 1971 that Blek Le Rat discovered grafittis on the walls and trains of the city. Impressed by this means of expression and because he also wanted to develop his style, while Banksy wa still a child in the 1980's, Blek started to paint his stencils on Paris's walls.
Starting simply with rats, scattered all aound the city, Blek opted then for characters, represented in full-scale. In the early 90's he was arrested for vandalism, he then decided to stick posters on which he had painted his stencils in advance. consequently, when caught red-handed by the police he just had to take the poster off and flee. His work is also very committed, denouncing the wrongs of our society.
BURN CREW
BURN CREW, is a duo of young French artists who was inspired by the graphism and the techno sounds of 80's. Some composition of them makes us feeling as we immersed in the legendary movie TRON.
FAILE (1999 - )
FAILE is a Brooklyn-based artistic collaboration between Patrick McNeil (b. 1975, Edmonton, CA) and Patrick Miller (b. 1976, Minneapolis, MN). Since its inception in 1999, FAILE is known for their pioneering use of wheatpainting in the increasingly established arena of street art, and for their explorations of duality through a fragmented style of appropriation and collage. During this time, FAILE adapted its signature mass culture-driven iconography to a wide array of media, from wooden boxes and window pallets to more traditional canvas, prints, sculptures, stencils, multimedia installation, and prayer wheels.
FAUCHEUR Jean (1956 - )
Born on 14th June 1956 in Paris, Jean Faucheur found his style in the 80's through urban interventions of which he is one of the forrunnuers. He produced paper artworks as early as 1982 that he stretched on Paris's billboards. He co-founded the painters collective "Les Frères Ripoulin", exhibited in New York at the Tony Shafrazy Galery, the famous Keith Haring gallery, Futura 2000 and Basquiat, organised wild exhibitions in the parisian underground, as well as at the Palace and exhibited at the Agnès b. gallery.
GILBERT1 (1980)
GILBERT1 is a french Urban artist born in 1980. His career led him to perform many wild projects in disused and forgotten places, and these worlds have become over time a real source of inspiration. So the wastes of the past, of industries, of men, of society, but also of his own productions are now the founding elements of his creations.
HARING Keith (1958 - 1990)
Keith HARING was born in 1958 and died young in 1990. He was an activistic artist whose work responded to street culture of the 1980s by expressing against social, political or financial oppression. His imagery is based on comic's caracters in simple composition and has become a recognized visual language.
INVADER (1969 - )
INVADER is an artist that defines himself a ULA (Unidentified living artist), he took Invader as a nickname and appears always with a mask. This way he can go to his own exhibitions without the visitors noticing his identity or that they even notice his presence when he is standing by them! Since 1998 he developed a great scale project under the code name: Space Invaders that consisted in placing creations made with tiles and representing characters from the game on Paris’ walls and then other cities across the world. Each of these pieces became the fragment of a monumental artwork. Source: http://www.space-invaders.com/about/
JONONE (1963 - )
JonOne alias John Perello was born in Harlem in New York in 1963. He strated in the grafitti world at the age of 17 by tagging the walls and trains of his neighbourhood, then those of New York in whole.
He settled in Paris in 1987 then started his painter activity in a workshop at the Hôpital Ephémère with A-One, sharp and Ash, witout abandonning grafitti. Very quickly, he made himself a name in the parisian artistic world: he was exhibited in 1990 at Berlin's Gallery Gleibsch 45 and in 1991 he participated at the Paris Grafitti exhibition, rue Chapon in Paris. Since then many exhibitions have been dedicated to his artworks throughout the world: Tokyo, Monaco, Paris, New York, Hong Kong.
JR (1984 - )
As an undercover photographer, JR transforms his pictures into posters and makes open space photo galleries out of our streets. An acute observer of our time, as comfortable in cozy neighborhoods as in urban ghettos, he questions pedestrians with the exhibitions he mounts on their everyday commutes. Using a camera he found once in the subway, JR finds inspiration in informal encounters he makes following his travels and his intuitions.
JR is currently imagining new ways of exhibiting, always in urban areas, where the choice and streets and locations must reveal the meaning of the pictures themselves. He intentionally keeps a distance with cultural institutions, except when they can provide an added value to the projects.
KATRE (1977 - )
KATRE is a french grafitti artist. For numerous years he has been roaming around great cities looking for walls to paint and met several artists with whom he collaborated. He was able to develop his own style: distorted jerky letters that he confronts with ruined urban environments. One can retrieve his world in his artworks at his workshop: colored, energetic and stupendous letterings, neat and breaking the geometry of the lines, linings with monochromatic prints in font. The artist copies photographies, generally his own that he prints in black and white then reworks on them with his writing game (his name = his signature) bringing a dynamic and striking contrast.
KAWS (1974 - )
Brian Donelly alias Kaws to his real surname, is an american artist born in the near outbound of New York in 1974.
His artwork slowly distanced itself from graffiti, from which he started, in order to evolve towards more figurative subjects/themes and influenced by Pop Art. He used the codes of that movement to which andy Warhol was very attached, he reinterpreted (tele)visual elements of pop culture and used mass production medias to share his creations. In 2006 he opened a gallery shop Original Fake, copied on the model of Keith Haring’s Pop Shop (created on the advice of Andy Warhol).
L'OUTSIDER (1984 - )
Born in 1984 in Brittany, The Outsider (L'outsider) discovered Graffiti in 2001. He grew a passion for this art and used his own style of lettering on which he keeps on working, consequently creating varied types of typographies.
LAZOO (1969 - )
LAZOO is born in 1969 in Paris, a member from the Graffiti PArisian Crew MAC he started to work and place stencils in the urban environment since 1986 in Paris.

ROTI - Pierre SASSONE (1988 - )
ROTI was born in 1988 in France. He is considered as an activist because of his artistic commitments but also political ones. He became famous in 2013 for his stands on the rights of the oppressed ones.

Shepard FAIREY | OBEY (1970 - )
Shepard Fairey, also called Obey, born in Charleston (South Carolina, United States) in 1970 discovered in the late 80’s Marhall McLuhan, the sociologist specialized in media communication and took over the slogan “The medium is the message”. The artist went on from that empirical principle that when an image is submitted to the eye of the spectator on a repetitive and insistent basis it becomes significant. He began with covering the walls of his city with slogans and obedience orders that act like subliminal messages, the format became a piece of propaganda and fit in an artistic move...
SPEEDY GRAPHITO (1961 - )
Olivier Rizzo alias SPEEDY GRAPHITO is born in Paris in 1961. He was one of the pioneers of the French ‘Street art’ movement since the 80's.
