A self-taught artist from Rennes, AERO began in graffiti in the 1990s. Travel, encounters with people and the natural world shape his painting and its subjects.
ON THE WALL / AERO
Born in Rennes in 1981, lives in the clouds.
A self-taught painter from the French graffiti of the 1990s, passionate about human exchanges and life in natural territory; it is in all of his travels that AERO draws inspiration and builds his artistic identity.
With his head in the clouds but his feet on the ground, he started graffiti in 1997 in Rennes.
Elusive, sliding like a draught in the streets of his hometown, he did not imagine that he would sow his paintings all over the world. However, in 2002, her job as a chef led her to
start an initiatory journey that will last 15 years. From Europe to the Indian Ocean, from New Zealand to Canada, from South America to the Pacific Ocean, he is full of eyes, ears and taste buds.
He took advantage of these years of cultural enrichment to perfect the mastery of his favorite tool: the spraycan.
Back in Europe, he devotes himself to his art and multiplies street paintings, exhibiting in the open air his poetic compositions combining photo-realistic portrait and environmental approach. At the same time, he conceived and developed an even more eloquent pictorial style on these canvases that he baptized "Insprayssionism".
AERO takes advantage of the open environment to attract the attention of the passerby or the curious thus provoking emotions, reactions and reflections, and participates in giving meaning to the public space.
1 piece across the festival years
AERO’s mural explored emigration and the links between County Louth and the United States. It accompanied the attention surrounding Joe Biden’s 2023 visit to Dundalk and reflected on his family’s roots along the nearby coast. This work was replaced in 2024.
