Levalet

Charles Leval, known as Levalet, was born in 1988 in Epinal. He grew up in Guadeloupe, a place where he discovered urban culture, and then plastic arts. He studied visual arts in Strasbourg, France; Back then, his work was mostly turned toward video, and his inspiration coming from diligent theatrical practice. In 2012, he is getting the French diploma ?agrégation?, a year when his work also starts to spread all around the streets of Paris. Since then, he took part in many exhibitions and solo show, and in a few international gatherings as well.

Levalet?s work is mainly about drawing and installation. He draws his characters with Indian ink, and depicts them in the public space, creating a visual and semantic dialog with the present environment. His characters interact with the architecture and deploy in situations sometimes flirting with absurd.
