About the artist:
Born in 1977 in the Paris suburbs, Gully began in the graffiti world in the early 1990s, in Val-d’Oise. At 13, passionate about Franco-Belgian comics and hip-hop culture, he discovers the adrenaline of writing: tags, block letters, chrome with a roller, large signatures designed for maximum visibility. A self-taught artist, he trains in the street, in the graffiti school and camaraderie, developing a keen sense of lettering and visual impact.
Very quickly, he understands the importance of signature and identity. In 2008, he adopts the pseudonym “Gully,” marking a transition toward a more pictorial, colorful, and narrative body of work. This name, drawn from the childhood world, embodies the carefree spirit and mischief that he places at the heart of his work. Convinced that adults should never disconnect from the child they once were, Gully makes childhood the guiding thread of his artistic universe.
His work draws on multiple references: the clear line of Uderzo, the narrative realism of Norman Rockwell, certain atmospheres of Edward Hopper, but also the legacy of New York graffiti and street art pioneers. Gradually, he frees himself from appropriation to develop a distinctive style, between realism and dreaminess. The children he depicts no longer merely observe the masterpieces of art history: they interact with them, misappropriate them, question them, creating a dialogue between popular culture and artistic heritage.
His recognition on the art market is rapid. In 2009, he took part in his first auction at Millon et Cornette de Saint Cyr. His work Alésia far exceeded its estimate, marking the start of a continual ascent.
In 2013, a canvas broke the 50,000 euro mark; in 2019, Hommage NTHK Magritte 17 surpassed 70,000 euros.
In 2021, he set a record at a sale organized by Louiza Auction in Brussels: the monumental triptych Children meet Delacroix (2019) sold for 168,000 euros.
He has also entered the international market with a first sale at Christie’s in 2015.
Today, Gully stands as a major figure on the contemporary French urban scene.
From aerosol spray to large narrative canvases, his career testifies to a controlled evolution: that of a graffiti-born artist who has built a recognizable universe, where childhood becomes a critical and poetic prism for re-reading the history of art and our society."
