LASVEGUIX

French contemporary artist, Lasveguix develops a singular universe at the crossroads of street art, collage and contemporary painting. His work probes the memory of walls, the passage of time and the poetry of the ephemeral, transforming urban scars into emotionally charged works.

Involved in graffiti by his cousin SUOZ, he forged his visual language in contact with the walls of Paris and London. His work sits within an artistic lineage where the great names of urban and contemporary art dialogue. One finds the heritage of Jacques Villeglé and Raymond Hains in the art of torn posters, the sculptural power of Vhils, the raw energy of Jean-Michel Basquiat, the silhouettes of Jérôme Mesnager, the poetry of Miss Tic, the urban memory of Ernest Pignon-Ernest, Banksy’s stencil, Invader’s pixel universe, and the iconic strength of Shepard Fairey Obey. Never imitating them, Lasveguix asserts a personal, immediately identifiable style.

Torn posters, aerosols, acrylics, Posca and reliefs compose real “skins of walls,” where tears, superimpositions and traces of time become witnesses to a collective memory. Each work reveals a dialogue between material, history and emotion, inviting the viewer to rediscover the beauty of what the city seemed to have forgotten.

Lasveguix regularly exhibits in France and internationally. His works join private collections in many countries and reflect growing interest from collectors. His career leads him to participate in art fairs, prestigious exhibitions as well as charity galas gathering collectors, patrons and institutions. His work has notably been presented at events organized at Roland-Garros, the District 13 Art Fair at the Hôtel Drouot, in Monaco and several emblematic venues of the contemporary art scene.

Through each of his creations, Lasveguix gives a second life to the vestiges of the city. He does not represent the walls: he reveals their soul, making urban heritage, memory and creation converse in a work that is deeply contemporary and timeless.
