Captain Niglo (1982) - Niglo B-Boy 24

Original painting by street artist Captain Niglo.
Jeremy Bouleau, aka 'Captain Niglo,' born in Reims in 1982. Passionate about tagging and graffiti since his adolescence and inspired by artists like Trane, Djuk, Jonone, Seen, Cope2, and others such as Salvador Dali and Frida Kahlo, he started with markers in 1999. Then, in 2000, he took markers and spray cans in hand in a vandalous manner. Caught in the act in 2006 with his tags Cuni and Némar, he largely abandoned vandalism for legal murals a few years later, working on various surfaces. Some murals can be seen in the Ardennes (08), such as in Vouziers and Rethel, as well as in Marne (51), notably in Reims and Châlons-en-Champagne. 'Niglo' means 'hedgehog' in Gypsy slang. Having uncles who run auto wreckers, some friends nicknamed him Niglo, and he added 'Captain' as a pun, similar to the fish fingers brand Captain Iglo. His style is recognizable often by his trembling lines with small dots, as well as his character with a beard shaped like a scroll and a cap resembling a crown. Always seeking new techniques and supports, he also practices tattoo art since 2017 and opened his studio and exhibition in Attigny (08). Artists like Kery James or La Bajon already have their works by Captain Niglo—why not you?
