Monkeybird 'La Revelation' Print Available

Artist: Monkeybird
Title: La Revelation
Medium: 5 Color Screen Print
Size: 65 x 90 cm
Edition: 70
Price: €280

   

 

Monkeybird is the collaborative identity of French artists Demian Lacour and Edouard Ebel, a duo renowned for their intricate, poetic street art and fine art pieces. Their work masterfully blends naturalistic imagery with architectural and symbolic elements, creating narratives that explore the relationship between humans, nature, and the urban environment. The artists met while studying fine arts and quickly discovered a shared aesthetic and philosophy, leading to a partnership that has flourished internationally.
Their distinctive style is immediately recognizable, primarily utilizing stencils to achieve a level of detail and precision that is remarkable for street art. They often work in a monochromatic palette of black and white, occasionally accented with gold leaf, which lends a timeless, illustrative quality to their murals and gallery works. The core motifs in their oeuvre are the majestic, yet vulnerable, birds and monkeys (hence the name "Monkeybird"). The birds symbolize freedom and the ethereal, while the monkeys often represent human intelligence, cunning, and our inherent ties to earthly concerns and material possessions.
The backdrops of their pieces frequently incorporate elaborate patterns inspired by antique wallpaper, gothic architecture, and scientific illustrations, transforming plain walls into grand, layered compositions. Through this fusion of meticulous technique and potent symbolism, Monkeybird addresses themes of balance, duality, and the delicate equilibrium between the wilderness and civilization. Their art serves as a visual fable, inviting viewers to pause and contemplate the narratives hidden within the detailed lines and shared spaces they inhabit, leaving a lasting impression of thoughtful elegance and profound depth.

Goin 'Stars Over Wars' Print Available

Artist: Goin
Title: Stars Over Wars
Medium: 3 Color Screen Print
Size: 70 x 50 cm
Edition: OPEN
Price: €99

 

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.

Title: Cooler Age
Medium: Deckled 2 Colour Stone Lithograph
Size: 60 x 45 cm
Edition: 50
Price: €250

They met while studying at the École Supérieure d'Arts & Médias in Caen around 2010 and developed a shared passion for drawing and urban art beyond their academic pursuits.
Murmure's artistic practice is characterized by transforming selected locations into powerful pictorial narratives, often utilizing charcoal drawing techniques to create striking, large-scale ephemeral works on city walls before expanding into other media. Their process involves meticulous studio work, which since 2021 has also included painting on canvas and bronze sculptures, allowing them to explore themes differently depending on the medium.
The duo's art is deliberately engaged, exploring strong contemporary themes with a playful, dreamlike, or poetic approach. They visually echo the concerns of their generation, with favorite subjects including childhood, homelessness, consumer society, new technologies, and the environment. Their work often highlights the human impact on the planet, creating a reflection on the future of our world and evolving lifestyles. Through their diverse and expanding practice, Murmure shares a unique vision of the world that resonates with modern audiences.

Thierry Noir 'Super Classic Heads' Paintings Available

Artist: Thierry Noir
Title: Super Classic Heads
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Size: 24 x 30 cm Each
Edition: UNIQUE
Price: £1,800 Each

Thierry Noir, a French artist born in Lyon in 1958, is widely recognized as the first artist to paint the Berlin Wall, transforming the stark symbol of Cold War oppression into a canvas for hope and freedom. Arriving in West Berlin in 1982, drawn by the vibrant music and art scene, Noir settled in an abandoned building near the Wall and, in April 1984, began his "revolutionary act".
Working quickly to avoid the armed East German border guards in the "death strip," Noir developed his signature style of bold, simple, and colorful cartoon-like figures, often featuring elongated faces and big heads. He describes his art as a physical reaction against the misery and melancholy of life near the Wall, not intending to beautify it, but to ridicule and ultimately help demystify its power. His simple, catchy "pop songs" of art were born out of necessity and danger.
Over five years, Noir covered approximately five kilometers of the western side of the Wall, inspiring countless other artists to follow suit and turning it into the world's longest outdoor gallery. After the Wall's fall in 1989, he was one of the artists invited to paint the eastern side for the East Side Gallery, a preserved stretch of the Wall and a lasting memorial.
Today, Noir is considered a pioneer of the street art movement, and his work is displayed in museums and public spaces worldwide, including the Imperial War Museum in London and the Wende Museum in Los Angeles. He continues to create murals globally, carrying his message of peace and humanity through his instantly recognizable, vibrant art, which remains an icon of resistance and creative spirit.

Arika Uno 'Sponge Bob' Print Available

Artist: Arika Uno
Title: Sponge Bob
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 50 x 65 cm
Edition: 35
Prices: £636

Arika Uno is a French artist born in the early 1980s in a Parisian suburb, drawing heavily from his childhood passion for Japanese culture and animation. His pseudonym is an anagram of the famous manga Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo, a clear nod to his key influence. Uno's journey into art followed a winding path, including a period in London studying music. After a series of disappointments in his musical pursuits, he returned to drawing and illustration, channeling his rich cultural background into his artwork.
Uno's distinctive style blends contemporary illustration with erotic pop art. His work often features vibrant, colorful figurations and incorporates themes of Pop Art, nudes, and street art. In the same vein as his manga inspiration, Uno's art critiques capitalism while simultaneously paying homage to the creative universes of his childhood heroes. He captures modern themes through a "made in France" manga/pop art lens, appealing to both French and Japanese aesthetics. Arika Uno's pieces include prints and street art paintings, with works such as Bandidos and illustrations inspired by franchises like Star Wars and characters like SpongeBob. His art celebrates the nostalgic, creative energies of his youth while reflecting on contemporary issues.

Jerome Masi 'Look On The Bright Side' Print Available

Artist: Jerome Masi
Title: Look On The Broght Side (Fluorescent Red)
Medium: 1 Color Screen Print
Size: 3x (A5) 14.8 x 21 cm Each
Edition: UNSURE
Price: €75

 

Jerome Masi is a French painter and printmaker whose bold, reductive style turns complex ideas into instantly readable images. Born in 1970 and raised in the Alpine city of Grenoble, he studied graphic arts before moving to Paris, where advertising posters, metro tiles and punk flyers taught him that a single shape can carry emotional weight. Working primarily with acrylic and screen print, he builds compositions from flat colour blocks and crisp silhouettes, often limiting himself to three hues so that every line must justify its existence.
His process is both methodical and intuitive. Masi begins with loose charcoal sketches, refining forms until a figure, animal or object emerges with the clarity of a road sign. He then cuts rubylith stencils by hand, preserving the small imperfections that reveal the artist’s touch. Layers of ink are pushed through mesh onto handmade paper or raw canvas, creating surfaces that hum with saturated reds, cobalt blues and sunflower yellows. Negative space plays a crucial role; untouched areas become light, wind or sound, inviting viewers to complete the story.
Recent series explore memory and migration, presenting solitary travellers wrapped in geometric cloaks that echo both safety blankets and national flags. Exhibitions at Galerie Issue in Paris, group shows in Berlin and art fairs across Europe have sold out, while commercial commissions have brightened hospital corridors and independent magazines alike.
Whether printing a pocket sized poster or painting a three metre canvas, Masi seeks the fragile moment when simplicity reveals complexity, proving that elegance born from restraint can speak across languages and cultures.

Alexis "Bust" Stephens 'Felides Couple' HPM Available

Artist: Alexis "Bust" Stephens
Title: Felides Couple
Medium: Hand Embellished Screen Print
Size: 45 x 30 cm
Edition: 45
Price: €170

Alexis Bust Stephens, alias Bust the Drip, is a Paris born painter who turns motion into pigment. His mother is French, his father Jamaican, and from childhood he felt music as vibration in his bones. Hip hop dance came first; he competed across Europe, spinning on cardboard, feeling the beat as waves that traveled from floor to heart. When he picked up a brush he kept that rhythm, translating leaps and freezes into streaks of spray, acrylic, and graphite. He sees the body as an organized storm of waves, each gesture a note in an unseen score.

On canvas he choreographs lines that twist, stretch, and break, letting color drip like sweat after a six step. The process is both technical and instinctive: he layers, scrapes, revises, until figures emerge mid movement, caught between blur and focus. Abstract expressionism gives him freedom, graffiti gives him speed, and dance gives him pulse. Recent years have brought major recognition: a mural for Barack Obama’s Brilliant Minds gathering in Stockholm, inclusion in the Olympic Museum in Lausanne celebrating hip hop’s entry into the games, and sold out shows in Paris, Düsseldorf, and beyond. Yet he still slips out at night to paste paper or set tiles on suburban walls, sharing positive frequencies with commuters who rarely enter galleries. Whether on a huge public façade or an intimate sheet of paper, every piece is a reminder that we are all sums of organized waves, pulsating, leaning, reaching for the next beat.
