BIOGRAPHY
Jinks Kunst is a Franco-Swiss urban artist born in 1976. He lives and works in Nantes.

His adolescence was marked by hip-hop culture and by skateboarding. Magazines, fanzines, and album covers led him to discover graffiti and the illustrations of artists like Lazoo or Mode 2.

He first experiments with graffiti lettering, then in 2006 he turns to stencil art. It is a true revelation and a devouring passion that never leaves him. These works are all handmade. Thus, armed with a cutter, he meticulously carves life-size works for hours.

In January 2008, he began to repurpose the traffic signs of Nantes, then those around the world. Intervening in streets around the globe is a necessity for Jinks Kunst. His creations are visible in more than 44 countries.

These journeys are always an opportunity for long walks to discover the right walls, the right signs. They are rich in meetings with the local populations. For Jinks Kunst, urban art is a way to create bonds with the inhabitants of the countries he explores, to engage in actions (often voluntary) with audiences (slums, refugee camps, industrial districts, schools) who have little or no access to this form of cultural expression, notably by organizing stencil creation workshops.
