Skepa is a French visual artist and sculptor born in 1978. Co-founder of the BAFO movement.
He graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon and began his first approach to painting through graffiti in the early 1990s, influenced by artists such as Basquiat, Seen, Cope2, Harring, Jonone, Condo, Banksy...
His meeting with Jone Hopper, with whom he confused the TBS group and other activists, was a turning point in his approach to art.
Over the years, his painting becomes more experimental, more raw, and opens up to new frontiers. He draws influence from Brauner, Appel, Picasso, Matisse, Buffet, Gauguin, Corneille, Braque, and pushes his research from classical art to contemporary art, passing through Cubism and modern art.
Several art critics compare his pictorial production to a UFO with multiple tentacles, harmoniously blending organic Cubism with a touch of deconstructed Figurative art, breaking away from the sanitized vision of contemporary art.
He is one of the most active artists in the online art market, with a dizzying output of over 1,200 works across all mediums.
