Jef Aerosol

Born in 1957, France

Active since the end of the 70s, Jef Aérosol is one of the initiators of street art in France. Nourished by the joyful and free effervescence of this era, by everything that the rock and punk scene offered to his rebellious spirit and curious about novelty. He designed his first stencils from portraits taken on a photocopier.His characters reflect the fair and attentive look that Jef Aérosol takes on humanity and the times. They are a window on the world as it is, tragic and poetic, marvelous and desolate. His works today adorn the streets of Paris, London, New York or Tokyo, but also museums.A pillar of a new art, which we will call street art from the 2000s, Jef Aérosol remains an essential pillar of contemporary urban art.
