Painter to Nantes - France
France
Born in Nantes, France, ADOR is a French street artist who has made a name for himself with his monumental frescoes and cartoonish characters.
A drawing enthusiast since childhood, he studied at an art school before turning to urban art in 2005.
His universe is filled with grotesque creatures, both human and animal, embodying satirical reflections on contemporary society.
He has also left his mark in cities around the world, notably at urban art festivals and exhibitions.
ADOR blends the absurd with social satire through characters with big eyes and exaggerated mouths, like creatures out of fairy tales.
His approach is to criticize society using humor and irony, while retaining a playful aspect. His work incorporates reflections on humanity, consumerism and politics, and uses the city as a living canvas on which he invites the viewer to take part in his visual narrative.
The contrast between his childlike figures and the seriousness of his subjects offers a committed vision of today's world.
