FenX is an urban artist born in 1974 in the Hauts-de-Seine (92). He currently lives and works in France. As a teenager, he became passionate about the street art movement: graffiti, hip hop, skateboarding. And it was in 1995 that he created his pseudonym FenX (pronounced Phoenix). Rebel, he learned graffiti to defy the taboo. Cradled by the culture of the 1980s (manga, superheroes, comics) FenX is gradually abandoning walls and urban spots to devote itself mainly to work on canvas, a medium that allows it to perpetuate its creation. Artists such as Lichtenstein, Warhol and the Crash paintings fascinate him. He revisits the masterpieces of the Pop Art movement, he transcribes urban energy on his canvases and introduces points of reflection on our society through hidden sentences, wink drawings or by the title given to his composition. FenX’s works are exhibited in France and abroad (United States, Singapore, Holland, Hong Kong, Oslo).
