Jean Rooble
About the artist
Jean Rooble is a self-taught artist who learned painting through graffiti. Drawing since his childhood, he is caught by the hip-hop culture of the 90’s. Practicing tag and writing, he gradually included illustration to his mural practice, to finally focus on a photo-realistic work, always with spraypaint, freehand and according to his own photos. Revisiting classical painting, he defends societal and humanist themes on monumental surfaces. He wants to create through his painting, and from the themes he addresses, a link between people. Even if each region has its own history, its figures and its traditions, he tries to convey a universal sense of tolerance and openness to the world.
