Mist - Back in the days

\Artist: Mist
Technique: Acrylic on canvas\Signature: Hand signed
Work by the French artist Mist. Rare work from 2015. The work is framed in a black shadow box. Certificate of authenticity included. Guillaume Lemarquier aka Mist was born in Paris in 1972. This artist comes from the street art, specifically the graffiti he discovered in 1988. He was soon recognized as one of the most talented and respected graffiti artists in Paris and more broadly he became one of the best tracers of "wild style" graffiti lettering in Europe. he inspires an whole generation from which emerged what would become street-art culture. His style and collaboration with the artists Tilt, Steph Cop, T. Kid, Bando. . . on many works made him an internationally recognized artist on the graffiti scene. He is one of the pioneers of the “designer toys” phenomenon, these small vinyl sculptures. The construction lines of the letters and the contours have evaporated, it took more than 10 years of work in the workshop, giving way to an abstraction whose dynamism and spontaneity are intact. His patinated bottoms still reveal the stigma of the walls of the wastelands he practiced so much. Contemplating a painting by Mist is to get lost in an abstract composition of hypnotic power combining urban art with contemporary art
