French artist Mahn Kloix grew up in a family of activists, motivated by the great battles of the social left.⁠
In 2003 he enrolled at the art school GOBELINS in Paris, and also studied in Besançon, where he was influenced by Bauhaus and the Swiss School. As Mahn Kloix, he has travelled, drawn, and shown his work in public space.⁠⁠
The artist has been based in the southern city of Marseille since 2010. He makes the historic city centre the departure point for exploring the political and militant Mediterranean basin.⁠
