About the artist:
Frog$kin is a street stencil artist who divides his time between Paris and Madrid; capitals in which it is also possible to discover his graffiti.
In 2020, he received the certificate of artistic merit awarded by the Pinacothèque museum when he participated in the international selection of the Luxembourg Art Prize. His work has also been featured in TV shows on TV5Monde and France3 Île-de-France.
When he is not painting in the streets, he paints on old paper supports (newspapers, banknotes, etc.) related to the subject of his works and to which he thus gives a second life (upcycling).
He does not hesitate to use art to highlight subjects that go against his values: freedom and equality. His paintings are easily recognizable by their contrasting colors (warm and cold) - in the style of Chagall that he likes - as if to highlight the good and the bad, the strengths and weaknesses in each of us. 67416861
