Jef Aérosol

Born in 1957, Jean-François Perroy, known as Jef Aérosol, is a French graffiti artist. He became known in the 1980s for his portraits of famous personalities and cultural icons. He is considered one of the historic pioneers of the stencil art technique, using complex techniques to create detailed images. His work is now characterized by extensive use of black and white, with the exception of that famous red arrow, a real trademark and "disruptive element". Internationally recognized, Jef Aérosol has taken part in numerous exhibitions and urban art festivals, making him a major figure on the contemporary street art scene. In 2009, he took part in the "No Man's Land" event invited by the French Embassy in Tokyo, and in 2012, he created a monumental fresco at Beaubourg (Paris). He exhibits in numerous galleries around the world (Dublin, 2009; Brooklyn, 2010; London, 2010; Casablanca, 2010; Buenos Aires, 2013...).
