Perspective
The impulse guy for some, a cultural explorer for others, a modern philosopher for those who know him, an agent of the unknown as he likes to introduce himself.
His style occupies a unique intersection between the aesthetics of Futurism, the social critique of the Dada movement, and contemporary artistic movements. The phenomena of pop culture, technology, fashion, music, politics, and race are central to his experimental, multimedia collages, paintings, and 2D artwork.
This charismatic and diverse artist has won multiple international honours and he is being named among '12 Artists to invest in now', by New Blood Art Gallery in London. Like a real agent he doesn't like to be photographed a lot and if you ask him nicely he will even produce his art certificate for you to see!Curated by

About the Product
Mai Huitième Deux Mille Dix-sept’ - or, 8th of May 2017 - marks the moment Macron beat Le Pen in the French Presidential election. A dancing figure stands at the centre of the painting, a sense of motion captured in the thick, textural daubs of red, white and blue patriotic paint that adorn the muse. Yet if there is movement there is also an impression of ephemerality, a gesture of time passing and of the ever-changing fate of political moments, poignantly evoked.
