Skepa is a French visual artist and sculptor born in 1978. Co-founder of the BAFO movement.
He graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Lyon and began his first approach to painting through graffiti in the early 90s, influenced by artists such as Basquiat, Seen, Cope2, Harring, Jonone, Condo, Banksy…
His meeting with Jone Hopper, with whom he confuses the group TBS and other activists, is a turning point in his approach to art.
Over the years, his painting became more experimental, more raw and opened up to new frontiers. He drew his influences from Brauner, Appel, Picasso, Matisse, Buffet, Gauguin, Corneille, Braque and pushed his research from classical art to contemporary art via cubism and modern art.
Several art critics compare his pictorial production to a UFO with multiple tentacles harmoniously mixing organic Cubism embellished with a touch of deconstructed Figurative art, breaking with the sanitized vision of contemporary art.
He is one of the most active artists on the online art market with a “dizzying” production of more than 1,200 works in all mediums.
