Certificate of authenticity

Born in 1986, Mr.Oreke is a self-taught French artist describing his work as "Street Pop Art." In the early 2000s he encountered the visual arts through graffiti practice. Equipped with his spray cans, he began covering walls with his colorful drawings before continuing his gesture on the canvas surface. His style inherits from the Pop Art movement and the aesthetics of comics. Abstraction predominates in the early years of his work. Mr.Oreke’s uniqueness is perceived in his backgrounds, which he largely exploits with aerosol, in the graffiti manner. The artist combines ink with acrylic, and sometimes heterogenous elements such as banknotes. The storytelling, tinted with humor, is endowed with whimsy and a liberating energy. A formal freedom is added by a mix of collages, splashes, typographic elements... and it echoes comic books.
