Dran

Born in Toulouse in 1979, Dran is a French multidisciplinary artist. While studying at the Beaux-Arts in Toulouse, he developed a practice tinged with humor and cynicism. In this respect, his work presents a critique of contemporary society. With a background in the urban scene and graffiti in particular, he works in a variety of media, including paint, photography, caricature and modeling clay. He held his first exhibition of paintings and drawings in 2007 in his home town. His work has also been exhibited across Europe, with shows at the Montana Gallery (Spain) in 2008 and Gallery Nosco (UK) in 2009. In 2010, Banksy recognized his work and invited him to an exhibition in London. Dran has also published books such as "Ma ville, je l'aime" and "Fabriqué en France", in which he shares some of his caricatures and his vision of the world.
