Born in 1986, Mr.Oreke is a self-taught French artist who describes his work as 'Street Pop Art'. In the early 2000s, he encountered the visual arts through graffiti practice. Armed with his spray cans, he began by covering walls with his vivid drawings before translating his gesture onto canvas. His style inherits from the Pop Art movement and the aesthetics of comics. Abstraction dominates his early works. Mr.Oreke's uniqueness is evident in his backgrounds, which he mainly exploits with aerosol, in the graffiti manner. The artist combines ink with acrylic, and sometimes eclectic elements such as banknotes. The storytelling, tinged with humor, is endowed with whimsy and liberating energy. A formal freedom is added there by a mix of collages, splashes, typographic elements... and it echoes comic books.
