The artist talks about himself:
Jinks Kunst: The urban stencil revelation. Born in 1976, Jinks Kunst is a Franco-Swiss artist of renown, whose creative path is rooted in the effervescence of hip-hop and skate cultures of the 1990s. His works, often life-size, draw inspiration from an in-depth analysis of current affairs, politics, literature, but also urban cultures and the animal world. A nomadic artist, a citizen of the world. Since 2008, he has pursued an artistic signature journey through the theft of street signs, initially in Nantes, then worldwide (over 40 countries). His stencils, posters and stickers adorn walls in countries around the world. Increasingly famous, he exhibits in France and abroad; his works are part of major private collections and are regularly reproduced in specialized publications on street art. In 2021, he was selected as one of 76 finalists for the prestigious Prix du graffiti et du street art de Paris. Among his most significant projects, one can mention: the creation of a fresco in the Sidi Moumen shantytown in Casablanca, depicting a scene of Moroccan life. A collaboration on the Prasad project in Nepal, culminating in a large mural in homage to Mahabir Pun, a pioneer of connectivity in the Himalayas. The organization of the volunteer project “Djiguene & Goor” across fiveWest African countries. He participated in notable exhibitions, including Strokar in Brussels and Studio 49 in Geneva, alongside legends such as Andy Warhol, Banksy and Jean-Michel Basquiat. The creation of a tribute artwork to the film 'Les Pépites' in Phnom Penh, which caught the attention of the director. The organization of the volunteer project “Alibi” in 2019 in the refugee camps of Iraqi Kurdistan and Lebanon. Jinks Kunst has produced several hundred stencils, defied more than a thousand street signs, and customized dozens of skateboards and vinyl records. His art, at once aesthetic and engaged, is a constant invitation to reflect on our world.
