About this user

JEF AÉROSOL belongs to the first French street art generation of the early 80s (with the likes of Epsylon Point, Speedy Graphito, Mesnager, Miss Tic, Blek, etc...). For twenty-five years now he's hit the walls of numerous cities (Paris, Lille, Chicago, London, Venice...) and exhibited his works in lots of personal and group shows. He gave the title and made the cover of the first book ever published about stencil art : Vite Fait, Bien Fait (Alternatives 1986). A musician, Jef has played and recorded with several bands (Windcatchers, Open Road, Distant Shores...). He's also at the origin of Dites33, a collective tribute to 33 rpm album covers.

In 2007, Jef Aérosol released a book : VIP Very Important Pochoirs (Alternatives Editions, Paris, France) :
Emblematic characters, symbols of a generation, rock icons, significant writers, cult actors and actresses... This book is a gallery of portraits that features men and women who are or have been of some importance to Jef Aérosol and to a lot of us. Either close-ups on canvas or life-size characters on the street, Jef's stencils (pochoirs in French) are looking at us, touching us, reminding us of old memories, giving birth to emotions. The artist offers a lively combination of famous stars and more obscure personalities, adding a few comments and captions in both French and English (French and anglo-Saxon cultures being his intermingled sources of inspiration). Each picture is underlined by Jef's trademark and second signature : a mysterious red arrow...

Jef Aerosol, Spray It Loud!

Jef Aerosol is a legend of the Street Art. He started stencilling in 1982 in France. With other French artists like Blek Le Rat, Miss Tic, and Speedy Graphito, he has pioneered a new way of artistic expression - breaking the limits of gallery spaces and canvas format. Streets have become a free and open exhibition arena. Artists could connect directly with the mass and shake public opinion with humour and provocation.

Jef Aerosol initially explored copy-art in the late 70s, i.e. creating collages and distortions of photos using all the possibilities of a photocopier. He gradually moved to stencils, influenced by ideas and atmospheres put forward by 70s-80s underground rock bands. Characters are the focal point of Jef Aerosols art. Whether they are cultural icons or anonymous people, their attitudes carry a genuine emotion, magnified by texture effects, contrasted colours and provoking wording. Jef Aerosol masters the use of stencil. Like the best photographers, he can catch the truth of an instant to reveal its universality.

Jef Aerosol (b. 1957) lives and works in Lille. His art is present in many private collections around the world as well as on the walls of cities like Paris, London, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Lille, Lyon, Venice, Rome, New-York and Chicago. His artworks are regularly auctioned in Paris, London and NY. He has been exhibited in numerous galleries and has participated to various street art festivals internationally.

Jef Aerosol, stencil pioneer...

Jef Aerosol belongs to the first French street art generation of the early 80s. After experimenting with copy-art in the late 70s, Jef went on to work with stencils, a craft that inspired urban artists like C215 after him. Inspired by music, film and literature, his trademark mix of life-size actors, musicians and poets can be seen on walls in numerous cities, including Paris, London, Lille, Chicago, Venice and Amsterdam.
He has exhibited his works in a number of solo and group shows around the world, including his first UK solo show in London 2007 and this year Amaze stencil festival in Belgium with fellow Opus Underground artists Hush and Pure Evil. Jef is a true legend in the street art world.
