Biography
Jinks Kunst is a French-Swiss urban artist born in 1976. He lives and works in Nantes.

His adolescence was marked by hip-hop culture and skateboarding. Magazines, fanzines, and record covers led him to discover graffiti and illustrations by artists like Lazoo and Mode 2.

He first experimented with graffiti lettering, then in 2006, he ventured into stenciling. It was a true revelation and a consuming passion that never left him. All these works are handmade. Armed with a cutter, he meticulously carves out life-sized pieces for hours.

In January 2008, he began hijacking the traffic signs in Nantes, and then around the world. Intervening in streets across the globe is a necessity for Jinks Kunst. His creations are visible in more than 44 countries.

These trips are always an opportunity for long walks to discover the right walls, the right signs. They are rich in encounters with local populations. For Jinks Kunst, urban art is a way to create connections with the inhabitants of the countries he explores, to engage in activities (often volunteer-based) with audiences (slums, refugee camps, working-class neighborhoods, schools) who have little or no access to this form of cultural expression, notably by organizing stencil creation workshops.
