Biography

Mr. Chat:
Born in 1977 under the name Thoma Vuille, M.Chat is a Franco-Swiss artist famous for his iconic smiling yellow cat, which has become a symbol of joy and positivity in urban space.
His first appearance dates back to 1997 in Orleans, when he painted this character with the aim of making art accessible to all. He uses the street as his canvas, interacting with passers-by through his playful works.
As well as lighting up cities with his sunny feline, he tackles themes such as solidarity and hope. His creations express a message of optimism that counterbalances the harshness of urban environments.

M. Cana:
Originally from Lille, Mr. Cana is a street artist whose work focuses on themes of nature and freedom, notably through representations of colorful birds.

His murals, often created at festivals or collaborative events, incorporate elements of nature, recalling the harmony between humans and their environment.
His aim is to inject poetry into urban landscapes, offering viewers a visual and spiritual escape.

Approach

Mr. Cat:
His artistic approach is to bring joy and hope to urban spaces through his emblematic character, a smiling yellow cat.
He uses the street as a playground to open up art and make it accessible to all, rejecting the traditional gallery setting. His works are often spontaneous and created in unexpected places, encouraging direct interaction with the public.
The cat, a symbol of optimism and benevolence, is a positive response to the austerity of the city, embodying a form of gentle resistance to urban greyness.

Mr. Cana:
A committed artist, Mr. Cana celebrates nature in urban environments through vibrant murals. He mainly incorporates bird motifs, symbols of freedom and lightness, to reintroduce a sense of connection to nature in spaces that are often cold and concrete.
