Paris City
An iconic figure in French graffiti, Nasty is one of the pioneers of urban art in France. Active since the late 1980s, he established himself through his work around the letter, color, and the appropriation of the visual codes of public space. Recognized for his creations made from etched street signs, torn posters, or recovered urban elements, Nasty transforms the traces of the city into works of art. His work demonstrates a deep attachment to the aesthetics of graffiti while developing a unique plastic language that links underground culture and contemporary art. Exhibited in France and internationally, Nasty has greatly contributed to bringing graffiti into galleries, institutions, and private collections. Through his works, he questions urban memory, the circulation of images, and the evolution of popular cultures in the contemporary space.
