Najean by Y Galerie

Born in 1957, Jean-Pascal Najean lives and works in Rocheservière (Vendée, department 85 of France).artiste jean pascal najean

After starting out as a wood turner and carpenter, he moved into other areas and then one day got bored.
He picked up a piece of wood and passion took over his life. Every one of Najean’s sculpture is a tribute to woman, in particular his wife Séverine, who adds the finish to his works.

Today Najean is one of our greatest contemporary woodcarvers.

Najean’s “girls” are not women; they are hyperboles of woman, or rather femininity. Hence the constant desire to streamline, remove the anecdotal, simplify the details, and get to the essential. The distorted shapes, the slender curve of their bearing and the free-flowing lines all serve to convey a rare, fleeting but essential moment, captured in the body of the model or the creator’s imagination. Nonchalant or provocative, they have no face, yet their gaze pierces you more deeply than if they did have eyes.

Jaké - Burger Queen, 2014

Jakè completed his studies in Applied Arts in 1990.

After many years spent creating a style, developing his graphic skills and making creative pilgrimages, he decided to devote all his time to painting in 2003.

His generous, colourful and lively approach has some of the technical, symbolic and spontaneous aspects of Free Figuration and Street Art.
Using Posca pens and acrylic, he expresses his creativity through all kinds of media in a wide variety of environments: mainly on canvas and salvaged objects in his studio, but also in the urban environment on walls, fences, metal shutters, lifts and even cars!

Although he was very soon commissioned to produce window displays in Paris, visuals for textile printing and record sleeves, painting remains his true passion… This pictorial bulimic admits: “I don’t know when to stop, which is probably why I often paint the edges of the pictures.
My framed, structured work, and the style that results from it, rely on the details and emotions they inspire… 14 colours never mixed, ultimately a screen-printed look with no substance or very little, just viewpoints and graphic reliefs…”

Although large canvasses are his favourite medium, he happily works on larger formats such as painted walls and/or buildings…

He put on his first solo show at the Galerie Villain in Paris in October 2011.

Since then he has taken part in exhibitions all over the world and is a key player on the contemporary art scene.

Kalouf - Big Hair 2

Born on 31 January 1978 in Port-Gentil (Gabon), Pascal Lambert loved drawing as a child and later made a name for himself under the moniker “Kalouf” in the late 90s by creating illegal graffiti in the street, blending lettering, decoration and characters in a colourful style, at once realistic, caricature-like and fantastical.

In 1998, he joined the ACC crew, a group of 10 graffiti artists who took over unlikely places and specialised in creating large-scale themed murals. For a decade or so, he had many rewarding experiences and refined his spray can and airbrush technique with ACC, as well as through his Kaligraff organisation, which took him to many countries, and the 3 Barons, a collective of visual artists, graphic designers and mural painters.

In 2010, with the support of Orly cultural centre, Kalouf created his first solo show on canvas. He displayed around fifteen paintings depicting the 4 disciplines of Hip Hop culture. His solo work, influenced by hyperrealism and 3D, has been respected in Graffiti and Street Art circles ever since.

Mr Lolo

Mr Lolo - Love fond bleu, 2013

In 1987, after meeting with poet and femme fatale Miss.Tic, Mr. Lolo decided to devote himself entirely to the street stencil adventure. Together, they walk the streets of Paris, go to bistros in Pigalle and trendy clubs: they are inseparable. The race against the cops, always keen to hunt down anyone caught vandalising the public space, often ends badly and they end up behind bars.

Mr. Lolo’s work contains various aesthetic, cultural and sexual paradoxes. The multiple and the unique. Darkness and brilliance. Decadence and purity. The street and the boudoir. Potion and poison. Dual identity. This permanent game of duplicity is reflected in his subjects and in his technique in equal measure.

Some think there is nothing more unsophisticated in terms of pictorial technique than the stencil. The use of cut-outs and spray cans generally creates “flat, simple works, doomed to rapid degradation and multiple uses.

With a level of skill borne of devotion, Mr. Lolo asserts and proves the opposite. He reinterprets stencils and sublimates them. His fine sense of detail, as seen among the Art Nouveau painters and poster designers such as Alfons Mucha, is a game-changer.

According to Philippe Fontaine, his stencils seem to have been cut not with a box cutter, but a scalpel; their precision is surgical. Through the use of mixed techniques, blending acrylic, ink spray and sequins, his portraits have a special volume and thickness, a particular expressiveness, a fragile side but also a troubled one. The use of the stencil, whose main purpose is to multiply the work almost infinitely, is denied: his works are unique. The addition of hand-glued sequins enhances the contrast by creating a shiny gold or silver effect.
