Born in 1986, Mr.Oreke is a self-taught French artist who describes his work as «Street Pop Art». In the early 2000s, he encountered visual arts through graffiti practice. Armed with his spray cans, he began by covering walls with colorful drawings before continuing his gesture on the canvas support. His style inherits from the pop art movement and the aesthetics of comics. Abstraction predominates in the style of his early years. The uniqueness of Mr.Oreke is perceived in his backgrounds, which he mainly exploits with aerosol, in the graffiti manner. The artist combines ink with acrylic, and sometimes heterogeneous elements such as banknotes. The narration, tinged with humor, is endowed with whimsy and a liberating energy. A formal freedom is added by a mix of collages, splashes, typographic elements... and it resonates with the comics.
