BIOGRAPHY:

Ikon is a French artist born in 1970. He lives and works between Paris and Hossegor in south of france. Coming from the urban surf and skate culture, he travels the world in search of the best waves on the
planet and begins to paint on surfboards.
He dedicates himself to his art drawing inspiration from surf and skate culture, his travels and mass culture (comics, cartoons, cinema). Using humor to convey more serious messages, he declines in all forms of
icons his character “Beasty Boy” in a very colorful universe. His work is based essentially on the search for progressive techniques around the precision of the lines.
He was one of the urban artists highlighted by agnès B such as jonone,
moze 156 and several of his works are part of the Agnès B foundation,with whom he always collaborates for the creation of abstract colored patterns used in the creator’s collections .
