Protected and fast shipping. LASVEGUIX French contemporary artist, Lasveguix develops a singular universe at the crossroads of street art, collage and contemporary painting. His work interrogates the memory of walls, the passage of time and the poetry of the ephemeral, transforming urban scars into works charged with emotion. Initiated into graffiti by his cousin SUOZ, he forges his visual language through contact with the walls of Paris and London. His work sits within an artistic lineage where the great names of urban and contemporary art dialogue. It bears the heritage of Jacques Villeglé and Raymond Hains in the art of ripped posters, the sculptural power of Vhils, the raw energy of Jean‑Michel Basquiat, the silhouettes of Jérôme Mesnager, the poetry of Miss Tic, the urban memory of Ernest Pignon-Ernest, the stencil of Jef Aérosol, the pixelated universe of Invader and the iconic force of Shepard Fairey. Without ever imitating them, Lasveguix asserts a personal handwriting, immediately identifiable. Ripped posters, spray, acrylic, Posca and reliefs compose true ‘wall skins’, where tears, overlaps and traces of time become the witnesses of a collective memory. Each work reveals a dialogue between material, history and emotion, inviting the viewer to rediscover the beauty of what the city seemed to have forgotten. Lasveguix regularly exhibits in France and internationally. His works join private collections in many countries and attest to a growing interest from collectors. His career leads him to participate in art fairs, prestigious exhibitions as well as charity galas bringing together collectors, patrons and institutions. His work has notably been presented at events organized at Roland-Garros, the District 13 Art Fair at the Hôtel Drouot, in Monaco and in several emblematic venues of the contemporary art scene. Through each of his creations, Lasveguix gives a second life to the remnants of the city. He does not portray the walls: he reveals their soul, letting urban heritage, memory and creation dialogue in a work that is deeply contemporary and timeless.
