This event is proposed by members of the Pack, a group of alternative urban artists, who studied at the Epsylon Point studio, characterized by a spirit of protest that revives the political origins of stencil.
It features the work of Epsylon Point and his disciples.
Epsylon Point belongs to the generation of French urban artists of the early ’80s, along with Miss Tic and Blek le Rat.
A proponent of the « politically incorrect », he deals with subjects such as the working world, world conflicts and erotic scenes.
His painting technique is inspired by lyrical abstracts, such as the work of Kandinsky, or American abstracts, such as that of Jackson Pollock, mixing portraits and stenciled texts.
His Opus Délit is published simultaneously by Editions Critères.
Spliff Gachette started stenciling in the 90s, introduced to the technique by Epsylon Point. He hijacks the characters Pif and Hercule with monochrome black stencils and short and incisive texts. Keeping his distance from the galleries, not very keen on glory, he draws his energy from revolt and is what we call an anarchist.
Pixal Parazit, now working between France and Portugal, crossed paths with Spliff Gachette and Epsylon Point before developing his softer, more glamorous style and technique using light cutting and multilayering. Today, he diversifies his activity and launches a collection of accessories with stencil by collaborating with designers and dressmakers.
