BLACK ARROW :

Black Arrow is an artist born in the 1980s, nourished by urban culture and the cartoons of his childhood. His signature – a black arrow – was born in the street, from a simple and instinctive gesture: to mark a sign that grabs the eye, that stops the gaze, that pushes you to look elsewhere.

For him, the arrow is not just a graphic symbol. It is a message, an invitation to break out of the frame, to resist the imposed meaning, to invent one’s own path. By repeating it on the city walls, he sought to create a discreet poetry amid the concrete, a reminder to passersby that there are always other directions possible.

This arrow has since become his emblem, accompanying all his creations. Its support, radical and singular, is the banknote – which he distorts and transforms into miniature works. Black Arrow chooses for this purpose faithful replicas of banknotes, which allow him to explore the very symbol of value and reinvent it as a poetic and critical vector. In these works, his arrow intersects the icons of pop culture and the colorful imagery of cartoons from the 80s and 90s.

Each diverted banknote thus becomes a miniature manifesto: a bittersweet critique of our relationship with money, but also a reminder that art, like the arrow, must always point toward new horizons.

Black Arrow has chosen to work exclusively with Prime Art Galerie, to whom he has entrusted the mission of accompanying and disseminating his universe.
