Jef Aerosol

Jef Aerosol (Born 1957) is active/lives in France.  Jef Aerosol is known for Street graffiti art.

It was in the early eighties when French street stencil graffiti artist Jef Aerosol began making his mark in cities around the world and incorporated his now recognizable red arrow in each piece.  Today he is described as a "legend of street art." (French Studio) and a master of the use of stencil.  Like the best photographers, he can catch the truth of an instant to reveal its universality.

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 70s-80s underground rock bands. Characters are the focal point of his art. Whether they are cultural icons such as novelist Jack Kerouac or anonymous people, their attitudes carry a genuine emotion, magnified by texture effects, contrasted colours and provoking wording.

He works with spray paint and belongs to the first group of street art pioneers, dating to the early 1980s.&nb   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 1699 characters.]  Artist bio
