Grey1

Gris1 is a French artist born in 1981, he began to take an interest in art in 1996, when he was in middle school.

At first, he tried his hand at public walls and discovered what graffiti really was. 20 years later, from festivals to exhibitions, he exports his passion and his name, affirms his thirst for freedom by mixing media (canvas, wood) but also styles and techniques.

The particularity of Gris1's studio work is his ability to mix different supports, styles and techniques to create a single work.

This patchwork has become one of the characteristic features of his work, like a puzzle made up of different universes that intersect and have meaning for him.

He is a member of Da Mental Vaporz (DMV). DMV is a French graffiti group consisting of Bom.K, Blo, Brusk, Dran, Gris1, Iso, Jaw, Kan, Sowat & Lek created in 1999 by Bom.k and Iso in the suburbs of Paris.

Soon joined by Kan, they distinguished themselves by making huge paintings on walls in the southern suburbs, featuring different subjects of traditional graffiti (confined to block letters or cartoon characters). The works of these artists can speak for themselves independently, differentiating themselves from each other mainly in medium as in style and technique which, as soon as they are shown in a common context, creates an extraordinarily interesting relationship.

As different as these styles may seem, the artists are nevertheless able, in their commonly created works, to bring together a harmonious symbiosis which, although marked by tension, remains balanced.

Thus, their works can span dozens of meters in height and width, depicting monstrous characters, madness and the imminent end of time.

As a member of the DMV group, Gris1 maintains his passion by making large frescoes and collective canvases. He came to strengthen the group with his expertise in old school graffiti codes.
