This exhibition is an opportunity to discover a new French artist: Supakitch. he was born in 1978 in Paris and he lives and works in Brooklyn New York.
Raised up with mangas and hip-hop culture, passionated by art and music since his childhood, SupaKitch found in the Street a large choice of mediums and sources of inspiration that flourish in his work. His first graffiti dates back to 1990. Around 1994, graffiti took a major place in his life : under the moniker "Ride", he founded the HV crew with his friends. A year later, he meets Hazy (photographer and graffiti artist) and Eone (music producer and graffiti writer), which leads him to his first works combining various techniques (painting, photography and graphics) exploring the theme of music.
Not really aware that he could earn a living with his art, he became artistic director at the age of 21 and works for several advertising agencies from 1999. During this period he met his future wife Koralie, a student in architecture at that time, and an active street artist. She encouragedd him to present his first exhibitions in the early 2000s : this is the time when his name SupaKitch was born.
Through the website ekosystem.org he discovered he is not alone in having a more open approach to graffiti, where one dares to mix various techniques in the street (spray, brushes and acrylic paint, collage, silkscreen, ...). He's the witness of the birth of a movement that is beginning to be called Street Art.
SupaKitch started to collaborate with brands such as Sixpack. The most interesting collaboration was probably the one with Carhartt and its "Tour D'Amour" in 2006. Brendan Monroe, Wayne Horse, Koralie and SupaKitch painted murals in some of the brand's stores across Europe, in Dusseldorf,Copenhagen, Paris, San Sebastian and Lisbon.
