Franck Noto, widely known as Zest, is an accomplished artist hailing from Montpellier, France, who has established a significant presence in both the street art and studio painting worlds. Born in 1980, he grew up in an artistic environment and discovered the world of graffiti at just eight years old. By 1995, at the age of 15, he made his first official attempts at graffiti, utilizing the medium as a primary form of expression. Noto is largely a self taught artist, developing his unique aesthetic outside of traditional art school settings. His early career was defined by his work with the TDM crew, with whom he created extensive murals across Europe, New York, and Noumea.

As his Instagram often showcases, Noto transitioned from pure graffiti to studio painting around 2000, shifting towards a style defined by abstract forms and a vibrant, often fluorescent, color palette. His artistic focus blends the raw energy of his early street, or street, art beginnings with a more structured, almost cubist, approach to depicting form, particularly the female silhouette. Significant accomplishments for the artist include high profile collaborations with renowned design and fashion brands such as Philippe Starck, agnès b, and Uniqlo. His murals, which are celebrated for their intricate, colorful, and fluid designs, can be found globally in cities like Las Vegas, Zaragoza, Bordeaux, and his hometown of Montpellier.

His work has been featured in numerous prestigious gallery shows and solo exhibitions. Notable examples include "Trait d'union" at Diego Escobar Gallery (Luxembourg, 2025), "Complex Simplicity" at Art Gallery.be (Knokke le Zoute, Belgium, 2024), "Recto/Verso" at Diego Escobar Gallery (Marseille, France, 2024), and a "Collector's dinner" exhibition at Kolly Gallery (Zurich, Switzerland, 2023). In addition to these, he has participated in group shows like "Knotenpunkt" at Affenfaust Gallery (Hamburg, Germany, 2023).

Franck Noto, widely recognized by his moniker Zest, is a prominent visual artist from France who has made a significant impact on the international urban art scene. Based in the city of Lyon, his work is characterized by a sophisticated fusion of geometric precision and organic fluidity. Noto began his creative journey within the graffiti subculture, where he honed his skills in letterforms and large-scale murals before transitioning into a more abstract and refined aesthetic. His current practice explores the interplay between light, shadow, and depth, often utilizing a minimalist palette or vibrant gradients to create a sense of three-dimensional movement on flat surfaces.

The artist is known for his technical mastery of various media, including spray paint, acrylics, and ink. His compositions frequently feature repetitive patterns and rhythmic lines that suggest a digital or architectural influence while maintaining a hand-painted soul. Noto’s ability to manipulate perspective allows him to transform urban environments and gallery spaces into immersive visual experiences. He has participated in numerous street art festivals and solo exhibitions across Europe and beyond, solidifying his reputation as a key figure in modern abstraction. By stripping away representational elements, he invites viewers to engage with the pure energy of form and color. His evolution from a street-based writer to a multifaceted studio artist reflects a deep commitment to exploring the boundaries of visual language. Through his meticulous execution and unique stylistic voice, Franck continues to influence the direction of current geometric art.
