Born in 1978 in the heart of France, XTC shaped his artistic universe through an interest in Design, Pop Art, and more recently Street Art. This visual exploration has turned into a passion that was to be realized. XTC defines himself as a self-taught visual artist, aligning with the Pop Art movement, through the appropriation of contemporary consumer goods. His creativity is expressed through the bold staging of icons of popular consumption (such as McDonald’s, Malabar, Chupa), which he makes clash with the luxury world (including Chanel, Hermès, Veuve Clicquot champagne, and caviar) and Street Art, further blurring the already tenuous boundaries between these worlds. He expresses his art through sculpture, blending painting with all kinds of resins, plastics, and sometimes minerals. He draws inspiration, among others, from Banksy, Keith Haring, Orlinski, Andy Warhol, Obey, advertising, and addictions in general. All defects or imperfections are an integral part of the work: it is an empty (gas-free) recovered fire extinguisher that may have surface flaws visible through the paint. (Of course it is forbidden to sell a full extinguisher whose normative labels or the pin are missing.) HAND-FINISHED « Sculpture made for commercial purposes, hand-retouched by the artist XTC using acrylic paints. »
