Greedy Bird (2020) Painting by Syrk Graf

Syrk is a graffiti artist whose universe is mainly populated by colorful, funny and crazy animals. On walls or canvases, Syrk brings to life an incredible bestiary where the animal is sometimes found in surprising postures. Sometimes cute, sometimes mischievous, his benevolent creatures challenge and stimulate the imagination. It's up to everyone to imagine their own story. Syrk stages them in a fun and original way. Through his bright paintings, he invites us to enter an offbeat and poetic world.

By drawing inspiration from urban culture as well as the world of illustration and comics, Syrk develops a unique graphic touch, quickly identifiable. Very quickly, the artist receives numerous orders and is led to travel throughout France, then Europe. He continues to export his inimitable style and also leaves some traces of his passage if he happens to go on vacation with a bag of spray cans on his back.

Syrk's work pays homage to animals. For him, the animal kingdom dominates humanity. Moreover, the artist maintains anonymity to highlight his work above all.
"The most important thing is not what I look like. We live in a society where people put themselves forward a lot. Everyone wants to be a star. For me, that's not my thing."

Syrk has been making a living from his art in the street and his collaborations with various institutions for almost 20 years. Suffice to say that his numerous commissions leave him little time to create works on canvas or other original media. These are rare and quickly requested by his collectors.
