/// Biography of CHANOIR ///
Chanoir is a Franco-Colombian artist, born in 1976. He lives and works in Paris. Internationally renowned, he is famous for the energy and optimism of his graffiti. He works with a universal visual language, grounded in the belief that art and artists are agents of positive change. In the mid-1990s, under the influence of pioneering artists like Keith Haring and André, he decided to use spray paint as a means of expression. Chanoir's work, which is born from the fusion of Pop Art and Free Figuration, draws on knowledge of art history and is nourished by popular humor, childhood memories and a sense of contemporary aesthetics. He developed a graphic style marked by resolute colors, flat planes and figures with simplified and immediate shapes, characteristic of both logos and tags. In 2019, he was named Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the Minister of Culture, Franck Riester.
