About the artist:

Cédric Lascours, better known as Reso, is an iconic figure of French graffiti and one of the most renowned artists on the international street art scene. Born in 1975 in Toulouse (France), he lives and works today between Toulouse and Montauban, where he continues to develop his artistic practice.

Self-taught from urban culture, Reso has been immersed in graffiti since the 1990s, a period in which he first explored public spaces, squats, and derelict lots. Passionate about lettering and the movement of the stroke, he becomes a key figure of wildstyle: a complex and energetic lettering where letters unfold in repeated rhythms, between abstraction and expressive calligraphy.

His work today evolves toward a living abstraction of the letter, where intertwined curves and lines capture movement, energy, and gesture, creating dense, rhythmic, and visually dynamic compositions. Reso is not limited to mural graffiti: he also pushes his graphic research onto canvases, mixed media supports, and installations, with particular attention to the harmony of forms and the intensity of gesture.

Reso is an engaged player in graffiti culture: he is regularly invited to participate in urban events in Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, not only as an artist but also as an event organizer and facilitator of graffiti-related meetings.

In France, he has played a central role in the creation and animation of places dedicated to urban art; notably Hall 82 in Montauban, a space for exhibitions, workshops, and meetings that hosts urban artists, events, and varied artistic practices.

Artistic approach

Reso does not claim dogmatic affiliation to a strict artistic movement: he builds a personal visual universe, where the letter — taken as curve, rhythm, and sign — becomes instinctive material. His works express a balance between spontaneity and formal research, gestural and abstraction, memory of graffiti and contemporary projection.

His style is characterized by:
• an obsession with lettering and curve
• a sense of movement and dynamism
• expressive energy carried by intertwined lines
• color application conceived as harmony and rhythm

Market positioning

Reso is internationally recognized as one of the essential players in the contemporary graffiti scene. His work is valued for its authenticity, its historical wildstyle expertise, and its constant exploration of gesture. A muralist and visual artist, he attracts the interest of collectors attuned to urban culture, as well as to the evolution of graffiti toward workshop and exhibition formats.
