Biography
Born in 1978 in Nice, Deuxben de Rennes — a pseudonym chosen as a nod to the ubiquity of Ben Vautier in his hometown — discovered graffiti as a teenager through hip-hop culture. Self-taught since 1992, he spray-painted the streets of Nice until 2005 before settling in Rennes, where he returned to street art through collage from 2013 onwards.
His signature consists of colourful totemic characters, often over a metre tall, with dangling arms and an array of hats. Drawn by hand in his studio using Chinese ink, posca markers and watercolour, they are then pasted onto walls, sometimes on pages of the Ouest-France newspaper. The artist favours meticulous, highly graphic work, layering detail to create anonymous silhouettes that quietly observe urban life.
With over five hundred stickers and some twenty large-format pieces to his name, he has taken part in festivals including Just Do Paint, Banc Public in Saint-Brieuc and Pav'Art. A social worker alongside people with disabilities, he keeps his artistic practice independent and removed from commercial concerns.
