Mist

MIST discovers graffiti along the railroads of the RER (Regional Express Rail) in the late 80s. Captivated by the fascinating things he saw, he realizes his first graffiti in 1988. Standing out from his competitors, in 1991 he gets the chance to exhibit with Futura, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat at the Musée National des Monuments Français. Also recognized as pioneer of the so called „designer toys“ he designs vinyl toys such as Orus, Malus, Lucius and many more, which get sold allover the world. The toy specialists place him in the world top five artists’ aside of Kaws and Futura. Today, MIST dedicates himself completely to the sculpture and to the painting in his studio in Montpellier where he lives today. The sharp, edgy and clear lines nevertheless remind of his wildstyle pieces in the streets of Paris. With a lot of authenticity Mist established the link as well as the balance between painting and the plastic universe. Recently, Mist exceeded the size of usual when he created two huge and spectacular murals in Montpellier (2014) and Rennes (2015). Mist has a wide range of exhibition history, which started in France and spread globally. He participated at the Urban Art Biennial in Völklingen (DE) in 2013 and was part of the large scale exhibition Language of the Wall. Graffiti/ Street Art. at the Pera Museum in Istanbul (TR) in 2014.
