Born in 1990, Icon Clash is a French street artist, trained in visual arts and art history.
He is developing a distinctive practice at the crossroads of street art, nineteenth-century classical painting, and contemporary pop culture.

His work rests on a central principle: the collision of icons.
Historical figures, museum masterpieces, and modern heroes clash in visually striking compositions, where worlds overlap and respond to each other.

An emperor becomes a superhero.
An academic portrait is permeated by a comics aesthetic.
A classical canvas is contaminated by the graphic language of the street.

These confrontations are not about ranking cultures, but about revealing what links them:
the power of myth, image, and narration.

For Icon Clash, every era forges its idols.
Napoleon, a Marvel hero or a media celebrity, obeys the same mechanism: they embody collective narratives, symbols of power, fear, or desire.

Their work engages in dialogue with the past and the present, with the museum and the street, with the sacred and the popular.
Street art thus becomes a visual battleground where images clash to produce meaning.

Visually intense, high-contrast, sometimes brutal, its world plays with color, gazes, and symbols to create an immediate impact.
Icon Clash isn't looking for nostalgia, but tension.
