The story of Nasty begins in 1988.
Biography
He distinguished himself by covering metro trains with colorful graffiti until the mid ’90s.
Later requested by the artistic world, which proposes him to leave the street and express himself on other mediums. He then seizes the enamelled plates of the metro and uses them as canvases.
This will become his trademark.
Other original supports will renew interest among institutions and the public. His desire to defend the origins of graffiti and a work that favours writing in all its forms makes Nasty an authentic and unexpected artist.
In the ’80s, Nasty experienced the golden era of graffiti as well as that of video games, and was as passionate about the high score of Shinobi, Marble Madness or PacMan in the smoke-filled arcade rooms, as for his nocturnal sessions in the Parisian metro tunnels.
