Raphe

Raphe began to paint in high school in the wasteland of Paris and its suburbs. Graf ti gave him a taste for graphic arts, so he decided to continue his graduate studies in this eld. He then meets Esper on the benches of the Hight parisian school called Atelier Hourdé ; linked by their attachment to the color chart, they founded the Haut En Couleur (HEC) collective with other artists, which gradually became a visual and artistic communication agency.
Over time, the three-dimensional lettering monopolizes his mind. He draws the recurring subjects that he has before his eyes and focuses on how to represent them, this curiosity describing his graphic character. He appropriates a subject according to its shortcomings which he constantly wishes to confront. He particularly likes the combination of techniques and supports, thus increasing the diversity of his creations, especially in one of his series where he mixes letters and portraits.
He is also inspired by the different cultures of the countries he travels, going to meet people to share their uses and customs and observe different types of arts and crafts.
Its leitmotif : large frescoes where artists mix and share, with the aim of creating a visual strongly linked to the environment in which it is painted. Like a binder, he cultivates the art of unifying a work produced by several artists, by deploying his graphic universes made up of objects, sets and landscapes with in nite curves. Imprinted by his experiences, the illustrations he leaves on the walls are colored with the paint that ows through his veins and punctuates his life.
