PURE JOY!This guy is a pure joy! There is happiness and color, hidden stories and mirror games.

Generous and spontaneous, Jakè displays an inventory of true emotions, as if straight out of Prévert. His words are images, lined up, repeated until they have deserved their place in a graphic and fantastic lexical universe. No hesitation here. Life is painted boldly, solidly, his 14 colors fall into place, never mixing.

From the tip of his well shaken Posca marker, Jakè kaleido-scopes each instant, multiplies the plans, accumulates the symbols. A spray of spray paint and you take off into his world.

The drawing is transitional, repetitive and reassuring… a pictorial pet that gives us the illusion that childhood is omnipotent.

Since he has been 12, Jakè tells himself and us stories, love declarations to his wife or children who share his imagination, fed by Super Mario, Playmobil and doped on Haribo.

Graduated from the Paris Arts School in 1990, he gets closer to street art, due to his technique and colorful approaches. Having become Artistic Director, he nourishes his insatiable curiosity and refines his style.

Since 2003 the artist has woven his thread regarding his view of the world into rich, abundant and moving pieces, for anyone who knows to watch with the heart and how to get on the other side of the mirror when facing this faux naive.

His white bull terrier icon brings us toward ever more surprising adventures, framed in wordplay, riddles and fantasy tales.

Follow him and he will settle anywhere, on canvases, containers, walls, for private use or companies. Everywhere in the world but always with his unique spirit and the happy expression of pictorial art full of life. And of course, joy!
