NOTICE
Jef Aérosol, a pioneer of French street art, is famous for his striking monochrome stencils, often embellished with a distinctive touch of red, usually in the shape of an arrow. His paintings explore a variety of subjects, from popular culture icons to anonymous people captured in moments of everyday life. Jef Aérosol's style, marked by high-contrast black and white, lends his works an immediate visual power, highlighting the expressions and personalities of the characters he depicts.
His work is strongly influenced by urban culture and the punk movement, as well as by cinema and photography, giving each piece a realistic yet poetic effect. Jef Aérosol's paintings, whether on canvas, wall or various supports, are imbued with a profound humanity and a closeness to the viewer, recalling the roots of street art as popular art.
Close to figures such as Blek le Rat, for their role in the emergence of stencil art as a form of artistic expression, and Shepard Fairey for the visual impact of his works, Jef Aérosol has established himself as one of the major voices of street art. Today, his paintings are appreciated for their ability to capture the soul of the street and give a voice to the anonymous and the symbols of contemporary culture.
