Goin is a prominent French street artist, with a career rooted in a deep punk legacy and social activism that began in 1999. His work is a potent fusion of graphics and typography, executed with a raw, chaotic energy designed to challenge authority and provoke thought. Describing his creations as a "subversive bomb," Goin aims to initiate a critical spirit in his audience, using public walls and gallery prints as a canvas for his abrasive and denunciatory art.

Goin's artistic expression is defined by powerful sociopolitical messages, with a focus on issues such as social inequality, climate change, consumerism, and the refugee crisis. His technique often involves a striking use of stencils, creating images that are both visually captivating and rich in meaning. A common feature of his work is the contrast of greyscale figures with a single, vivid splash of color, often red, to highlight a specific emotional or symbolic element, such as the red boxing glove in his piece "Stop Bullying" or the barbed wire halo in "Lady Refugee".

Operating anonymously to maintain the integrity of his street art roots, Goin views his work as a form of urban resistance. His murals are often site-specific, engaging directly with the local context, as seen in his frequent appearances at events like the Upfest in Bristol, where his pieces consistently deliver strong, sometimes controversial, anti-establishment statements. Beyond public art, Goin also produces limited edition prints and sculptures, and his work is displayed in galleries across Europe. His continued output since the late 1990s showcases an artist committed to using creativity as a tool for change, leaving an indelible mark on the global street art scene.
