The artist speaks of himself:
Jinks Kunst: The urban stencil revelation
Born in 1976, Jinks Kunst is a Franco-Swiss artist of renown, whose creative path is rooted in the buzz of 1990s hip-hop and skate cultures. His works, often life-size, draw inspiration from an in-depth analysis of current events, politics, literature, but also urban cultures and the animal world. A nomadic artist, a citizen of the world. Since 2008, he has embarked on a signature artistic journey through the theft of street signs, initially in Nantes, then around the world (in over 40 countries). His stencils, posters and stickers adorn walls in countries worldwide. Gaining fame, he exhibits in France and abroad; his works are part of top private collections and are regularly reproduced in specialized street art publications. In 2021, he was selected among 76 finalists for the prestigious Prix du graffiti et du street art in Paris. Among his most significant projects, one can mention: the creation of a fresh piece in the Sidi Moumen slum in Casablanca, depicting a scene of Moroccan life. A collaboration on the Prasad project in Nepal, culminating in a large mural paying tribute to Mahabir Pun, a pioneer of connectivity in the Himalaya. The organization of the volunteer project “Djiguene & Goor” across five West African countries. He has participated in notable exhibitions, including Strokar in Brussels and Studio 49 in Geneva, alongside legends such as Andy Warhol, Banksy and Jean-Michel Basquiat. The creation of a tribute piece to the film 'Les Pépites' in Phnom Penh, which drew the director’s attention. The organization of the volunteer project “Alibi” in 2019 in refugee camps in Iraqi Kurdistan and Lebanon. Jinks Kunst has produced several hundred stencils, defied more than a thousand street signs, and customized dozens of skateboards and vinyl records. His art, at once aesthetic and engaged, is a constant invitation to reflect on our world."
