LASVEGUIX

French contemporary artist Lasveguix develops a singular universe at the crossroads of street art, collage and contemporary painting. His work questions the memory of walls, the passage of time and the poetry of the ephemeral, transforming urban scars into profoundly emotive pieces.

Introduced to graffiti by his cousin SUOZ, he forges his visual language through contact with the walls of Paris and London. His work sits within an artistic lineage where the giants of urban and contemporary art converse. One discovers 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 stenciling, Invader’s pixelated universe, and Shepard Fairey Obey’s iconic force. Without ever imitating them, Lasveguix asserts a personal, immediately identifiable writing.

Torn posters, spray paint, acrylic, Posca and reliefs compose real “skins of walls,” where tears, overlaid layers 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 exhibits regularly in France and abroad. His works join private collections in many countries and demonstrate growing interest from collectors. His career leads him to participate in art fairs, prestigious exhibitions and charity galas bringing together collectors, patrons and institutions. His work has notably been presented at events organized at Roland-Garros, the District 13 Art Fair at Hôtel Drouot, in Monaco and in several emblematic venues of the contemporary art scene.

Through each of his creations, Lasveguix gives a second life to the city’s remnants. He does not merely depict walls: he reveals their soul, letting urban heritage, memory and creation dialogue within a work that is deeply contemporary and timeless.
