BIOGRAPHY

 

Ariane Pasco, co-founder of the Nice Art collective, and still active on walls since 1986. She is one of the pioneers of stencil in France. Nice Art’s medium is stencil, available in multiples and colours, and their gallery is the street, with its accidents and its patina. Nice Art has tried collage, vinyl customization and reverse-graffiti.

His favorite themes, animals, icons of rock, literary writers, and cinema, but also portraits of strangers or anonymous people. Nice Art’s creed? Give back a place to nature in the city, put color on the walls, and appropriate the public space with our values, so as not to suffer the hype of the consumer society.
