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 pictorial arts through graffiti practice. Armed with his spray cans, he began covering walls with his colorful drawings before continuing his gesture on the canvas. His style inherits from the Pop Art movement and the aesthetics of comics. Abstraction predominates in the style of his early years. The singularity of Mr.Oreke is perceived in his backgrounds, which he mainly exploits with aerosol, in the graffiti manner. 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 there by a mix of collages, splatters, typographic elements... and it echoes comic books.
