artist/ Jef Aérosol

France

Jef Aérosol (born in Nantes in 1957) has lived and worked in Lille since 1984.
French stencil artist from the first wave of urban art, he placed his first stencil on the walls of Tours in 1982. Since then, he has traveled the streets of many countries to paint or paste his characters, often represented at scale 1. His work is now characterized by the significant use of black and white with the exception of this famous red arrow, trademark and “disruptive element”!
Passionate about music and a musician himself, Jef Aérosol is very inspired by the rock icons of the 60s/70s but he also highlights a large number of anonymous people, of all ages and all origins.
His works are visible in numerous exhibitions in galleries and museums, festivals, art fairs, public sales and international events.
Jef Aérosol delivers a humanist and poetic message which makes his work universal and timeless, always at the convergence of reflection and emotion.
