Graphikstreet

After studying graphic art and communication in Roubaix, Graphikstreet worked for 12 years in various advertising agencies as a layout artist and then as an art director.

Building on this experience, he decided to become a freelancer in 2008 while simultaneously experimenting with photography, painting, and collage.

It was through Instagram that he was offered his first photo exhibition in March 2017 in Brussels. His first real collage exhibition took place at La Condition Publique in Roubaix in November 2017.

His collages are inspired by the culture of the 1950s and 60s, a period he appreciates for its carefreeness, pace, and lifestyle. There is an energy that moves and inspires him: it is the soul of his compositions.

He seeks, using elements from the past, to offer an urban and contemporary testimony by employing advertising codes, with influences drawn from Pop Art and Street Art.
Graphikstreet composes, plays with shapes, colors, and typography to create vibrant and rhythmic visuals from old magazines, resulting in a harmonious, original, and surprising graphic output.
