Olivier 2SHY
Transposing the legacy of his graffiti culture to digital-era mediums, 2SHY explores a visual language oscillating between illustrations, graphic creations and hand-drawn typography.
He moves from one environment to another, alternating his collaborations and diversifying his mediums. His self-taught journey continues to reveal him as a fully-fledged illustrator, with an immediately recognisable signature that is renewed by his various explorations and encounters around the world.
Both a passionate activist and a lover caught in a multi-circuit labyrinth, 2SHY has been creating a vibrant, spontaneous, and colourful universe for over a decade.
A powerful iconography mixed with a design of the letter at the crossroads of the imagery of their childhood culture, graffiti and the 2.0 revolution.
From his intense practice on trains to occupying gallery spaces, the artist now creates a bridge with institutions through various commissions such as the production of monumental paintings or the creation of visual identities for artists and event projects.
2SHY continues, through its various projects, to imprint the spirit of a generation with an uninhibited style dedicated to a pioneering and still-untouched aspiration.
