LEVALET

Charles Leval, known as Levalet, was born in 1988 in Epinal. He grew up in Guadeloupe, a region where he came into contact with urban culture, then the visual arts. He continued his studies of visual arts in Strasbourg; his work, then more focused on video, is nourished by an assiduous theatrical practice. He obtained the aggregation in 2012, the year when his work began to take place in the streets of Paris and elsewhere. In 2013, he began exhibiting in galleries and participating in international events. 

Levalet's work is above all a work of drawing and installation. He stages his characters drawn in Indian ink in public space, in a game of visual and semantic dialogue with the present environment. The characters interact with the architecture and unfold in situations that often border on the absurd.
