RERO

French artist born in 1983. Lives and works between Paris (France) and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). A self-taught artist, Rero began his artistic career as a graffiti artist in derelict locations. Writing his messages in capital letters using the Verdana font, which he then crosses out with a thick line, he censors himself, bringing a new perspective to contemporary art. As he puts it: "Verdana is the most legible font, the most boat-like. Where in graffiti, you try to create a very personal calligraphy, I wanted to find the most impersonal font possible". These enigmatic messages based on the negation of the image have been exhibited in numerous international galleries and public institutions such as the Centre Pompidou.
