Jef Aerosol, Spray It Loud!
| Jef Aerosol is a legend of the Street Art. He has started stencilling
in 1982 in France. With other French artists like Blek Le Rat, Miss
Tic, and Speedy Graphito, he has pioneered a new way of artistic
expression - breaking the limits of gallery spaces and canvas
format. Streets have become a free and open exhibition arena. Artists
could connect directly with the mass and shake public opinion with
humour and provocation. Jef Aerosol initially explored ‘copy-art’ in the late 70s, i.e. creating collages and distortions of photos using all the possibilities of a photocopier. He gradually moved to stencils, influenced by ideas and atmospheres put forward by 70s-80s underground rock bands. Characters are the focal point of Jef Aerosol’s art. Whether they are cultural icons or anonymous people, their attitudes carry a genuine emotion, magnified by texture effects, contrasted colours and provoking wording. Jef Aerosol masters the use of stencil. Like the best photographers, he can catch the truth of an instant to reveal its universality. Jef Aerosol (b. 1957) lives and works in Lille. His art is present in many private collections around the world as well as on the walls of cities like Paris, London, Lisbon and Chicago. His artworks are regularly auctioned in Paris. He has been exhibited in numerous galleries and has participated to various art street festivals internationally. | |  Jef Aerosol at Arts Factory, London, 2008 |
