The Atlas

The French artist Jules Dedet Granel, known as L'Atlas, born in 1978, finds through his research into writing the starting point for his plastic and pictorial work.

He has studied calligraphy in several countries and cultures and thus creates his own original typographies. He is particularly attracted by the idea of ​​creating a universal pictorial language, which is a right balance between form and letter, between act and intention.

A game of infinite variations, emerging from and moving away from optical art and the different movements of abstract and geometric art.

In the 1990s, he took radical action in public spaces, making a name for himself in the field of graffiti.

He is renowned for his painted facades as well as for his monumental performances carried out on the ground of cities in historic locations, such as this immense compass rose commissioned by the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris in 2008.

He has also collaborated with major brands such as Perrier, whose legendary bottles he has decorated with his "Poptic'art" touch, a movement mixing optical art and pop art, the name of which he claims to have invented; but also with Agnès b, by working on the designer's clothes, who is one of the artist's most loyal collectors.
