Smoka

Born in Saint-Brieuc in 1982, Kelig Le Bert draws from an early age. He discovered graffiti and his universe in the 90s. Fascinated by all these colors and frescoes with incredible dimensions, he therefore launched the walls in 1998 under the pseudonym of Smoka. Perfectionist by nature, he first explores different styles of lettering with demanding technique. Today his work as a muralist mixes portraits, typography, patterns and materials, creating dynamic compositions and a unique universe. The patterns and colors become preponderant elements of his practice, punctuating his works between abstraction and figuration. His frescoes question our beliefs, confront our human certainties with the reality of the world and nature. He is part of the 100 pressure collective in Nantes since 2006, with which he participated in many urban art projects across Europe.
