Certificate of authenticity

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. Armed with his spray cans, he began covering walls with his colorful drawings before continuing his gesture on canvas. His style inherits from the Pop Art movement and the aesthetics of comics. Abstraction predominates in the style of his early years. Mr.Oreke’s uniqueness is perceptible in his backgrounds, which he mainly exploits with aerosol, in the manner of graffiti. The artist combines ink with acrylic, and sometimes heterogeneous elements such as banknotes. The narration, tinged with humor, is endowed with whimsy and liberating energy. A formal freedom is added by a mix of collages, splashes, typographic elements... and echoes the comic strip.
