Painting Eye étude N°5 by YG | Painting Street art Mixed Portrait

Originally from Metz, Yoann Guillemenet, aka YG, is a young and talented artist. Passionate about drawing when he was a child, he only encountered painting in 2015 after being forced to stop work due to health problems. Since then, this new discipline has occupied all of his intellectual concerns and stylistic experimentations. The most important part of his pictorial approach is founded on the meeting of two aesthetic languages with contrasting appearances: urban art and classical portraits. Continually navigating between an independent and spontaneous gesture when using the aerosol spray and a minute application required for the creation of the portrait, the self-taught painter enjoys playing with the established codes to give free rein to his expression – which he constantly seeks to perfect, through the in-depth nature of his technique.
