KRAM2 (1981) - MEDIA CRY

3D artwork created on a concrete block handcrafted by the artist himself.

Each piece is cast, finished, and hand-textured from around 2 kg of concrete, yielding a raw, mineral, and deeply urban base. Dimensions: approximately 22 × 15 cm.
Thought of as a fragment of a wall torn away from the city, this piece can be installed freely: on a table, a desk, a shelf, a bookcase, or in a display case.
It integrates into any space, bringing with it a strong and contemporary presence.

The intention is clear: to recreate the spirit of street art painted directly on the wall. Concrete, an industrial and cold material, becomes here a canvas for expression. It is not simply a support, but a piece of urban architecture transformed into a work of art.

The image is entirely handmade by the artist, then transferred, printed, and applied onto the block using a range of techniques that blend precision with street-style gesturality. Each step is designed to preserve the visual power of graffiti while embedding it in a durable art object.

The LEGO artistic figure serves to accentuate the mise en scène: it evokes the artist in full action, placing their stencil or affixing their poster, like a frozen scene in the heart of the street. This presence reinforces the narrative and immersive dimension of the piece.

The roughness of concrete, its natural irregularities, and its micro-imperfections contribute to its authenticity. No surface is identical; each creation possesses its own texture, its own vibration.

Between sculpture and contemporary urban art, this exceptional piece captures the raw energy of the city wall in an intimate and collectible format.

A visual and emotional explosion

The art of KRAM2 strikes like a shock wave. Raw, instinctive and charged with meaning, each work invites reflection. Hand-painted with care and intention, his creations reflect an intense life journey and visceral creativity — always guided by the desire to shake up people's consciences and inspire change.

A childhood shaped by the urgency to express oneself.

Born in the 1980s, at a time when street art was emerging in France, KRAM2 grew up in a world where visual expression was omnipresent.
He discovers the first tags, the wild murals, the silent cries of the city walls. A visual shock that awakens in him something powerful: the need to paint, to transgress, to exist in his own way.

From Instinct to Identity

At thirteen, he begins writing on the walls what he can't say out loud.
Pseudonyms change, styles evolve, but one thing remains: painting to stay upright.
Even after finding professional stability, he never lets go of his skateboard or his camera. Art is always there, dormant, ready to be reborn.

The birth of KRAM2

Twenty years later, a meeting shakes up his trajectory and rekindles the flame. He reconnects with his creative essence.
He reemerges under the name KRAM2 — a tribute to his own first name, and to that of the person who now shares his life.

⸻

An art of the heart and conscience

KRAM2 paints what he feels, what he sees, and what makes him question.
His work speaks of identity, childhood, struggle, and resilience.
It's not decorative: it's a mirror held up to the world.

Today, their works have traveled to more than 35 countries. From independent galleries to urban walls, they challenge, captivate, and move across cultures.

Le KRAM2 BOY — Symbol of innocence

At the heart of its universe stands a symbol: the KRAM2 BOY.
A pure inner child — curious, fearless, free — that keeps creating without limits.
He embodies what remains true, essential, alive... and reminds us that at the origin of all creation, there is a dream.
