Nasty (1974) - Véritable carreau de métro peint à la main [NO RESERVE]

The Paris gallery Chenus Longhi presents an authentic Paris metro tile painted by hand by Nasty. A historic figure of Parisian graffiti, Nasty reinterprets this emblematic support of the urban landscape into a collectible work.

The contrast of white, orange-red, and blue, the paint splashes and the layering of strokes testify to his mastery of graffiti and his attachment to its historical codes. A real little jewel!

Each tile painted by Nasty is a unique piece, directly tied to his journey in the Paris metro.

About the artist
Nasty is a historic figure of French graffiti. He began painting in Paris in the late 1980s and quickly established himself in the metro, which became the central arena of his work. His oeuvre draws on a vocabulary directly derived from this environment — signage plaques, maps, ceramics — which he reuses and repurposes in the studio. The aerosol spray can, a tool of graffiti, also occupies a central place there, sometimes transformed into an object. Active for almost forty years, Nasty has exhibited in galleries since the 1990s and has developed work recognized in France and internationally.
Nasty is part of the street art movement, alongside artists such as Vhils, Invader, Shepard Fairey, JonOne, Kaws, Futura.
