Retro Game Girl Painting by Eaj

Plastic artist from Bagneux.
Attracted by drawing from a young age, it is very early that Eaj draws his first lines on paper, becomes captivated by this activity and feels a satisfaction in sharing his creations.

At 14, he discovered another path: graffiti.
With his head glued to the windows of suburban trains, he learns the codes and techniques of this universe and then gradually integrates it. Putting your name, making your mark, leaving your mark by appropriating all kinds of urban surfaces. He finds there an outlet, a form of freedom, a way of existing at the antipodes of models of social or financial success.

In 2006, following an accident, he intensively returned to drawing and painting. These two disciplines then take importance in his life and he gives them more and more time.
The faces, the expressions guide his approach, he then signs his first works with three letters "Eaj".
Aerosols and markers remain tools he loves, but his pieces mix many other techniques and are an opportunity for him to constantly test new processes. Portrait, abstract, variations of colored patterns or pure lines his as many areas that he develops on several supports in juxtaposition or separately.

"I am a Painter, and even if I am often called" graffiti artist "or" tagger ", My definition of graffiti is for me a personal quest that I do not put in the foreground.
This universe emerges in my works and in my speech because it is part of me and of the things that have forged my line, in the same way as my gaze on life, music, my emotions, my surroundings or my experience. Being a graffiti artist is therefore only one of my many influences and not the heart of my work. "
