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 ephemera, transforming urban scars into emotionally charged artworks.

Initiated into graffiti by his cousin SUOZ, he shapes 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 converse. One finds the heritage of Jacques Villeglé and Raymond Hains in the art of shredded 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, the stencil of Jef Aérosol, the pixelated universe of Invader and the iconic force of Shepard Fairey. Without ever imitating them, Lasveguix asserts a personal, instantly recognizable handwriting.

Torn posters, spray, acrylic, Posca and reliefs compose real “wallskins,” where rips, 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 a growing interest from collectors. His career leads him to participate in art fairs, prestigious exhibitions as well as charity galas bringing together collectors, patrons and institutions. His work has notably been shown at events organized at Roland-Garros, the District 13 Art Fair at the Hôtel Drouot, in Monaco and at several emblematic venues of the contemporary art scene.

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