"Christian Guémy (or C215) entered the world of street art in 2006, when, inspired by the birth of his daughter Nina, he began creating his signature stencil pieces. His work generated interest from the very beginning; discovered by street legend Banksy in 2008, he leapt to international fame two years later when he was featured in Banksy’s delightful satirical documentary,
Exit Through the Gift Shop.
...
I paint in broad daylight, no hiding. Many are done in ‘overlooked’ or neglected neighborhoods. The smaller pieces are stencils, the larger works, 2-3 meters (6.5 feet-9 feet) are freehand.
...
I don’t like titles; they’re not important and take away access to the universal themes of the art. It’s important that my art can be understood, no matter what language anyone speaks." -
