Jef Aérosol

Jef Aerosol was an early pioneer of street art, having begun his artistic career in 1982 in Tours, France. His street art and gallery paintings are exhibited all over the world, and he is known as a stencil master as well as a master of the art of portraiture. His iconic portraits include the famous and the ordinary, but all are created to show the truth, much like a great photographer captures the authenticity of a moment in time.

Along with the red arrow, Jef Aerosol's image The Sitting Kid is his trademark and signature. The artist has done many renditions of the iconic Kid.

Jef Aerosol is something of a Renaissance Man, considering his mastery of literature, music and art. His greatest gift to the art world, whether gallery or street, is his uncanny ability to get at the truth of his subject and convey that truth to his audience.
