BRAIN ROY , born in 1980 in Lyon, discovered the world of graffiti in the early 2000s through mural demands in his hometown. This experience had a profound impact on him.
His tags and throw-ups carried out in the underground arteries of the Paris Métro are considered references in the field, whether they are personal or collective gestures carried out with his group MR&ROY.
His name is omnipresent on lines 5, 10 and 13, which earned him the title of "King of subway". With his experience as an activist in different ideological battles for a quest for reinforced identity, and encouraged by the city, its human diversity and its creativity, he quickly became an essential figure in the GRAFF movement.
In 2002, the ROYANDCO group was dissolved and Nicolas ROY gradually turned to the canvas, taking a close interest in all street art trends, which he integrated into his cultural references, his previous experiences and above all to the world of POP ART.
This popular culture, associated with his artistic references, allowed Brain Roy to create art accessible to all and resolutely anchored in his time, thus reflecting his image.
