KIKAYOU

Kikayou is a French contemporary artist from South Western France born in 1966.

He started as a professional lighting designer and this skill is visible in his art. In fact, He has an exceptional ability to capture light through his technique of multi layering. 

Kikayou has an extraordinary ability to work with light and his body of work is unique by the very intricate way in which he applies multiple layers, light washes – with collage, spray paint, watercolor and pastels. His paintings are dynamic, positive, happy and heavily inspired by Basquiat and the pop movement, creating a unique visual language that is a successful mix between Street Art and Urban Art with a strong reference to comics and posters. The apparent chaos is actually an invitation to live life to the fullest.
