Ludovilk Myers
France
Ludovilk Myers was born in the Seine St. Denis district of the Paris suburbs, where he lives and works today. In 1998 he started writing graffiti in Paris. Torn between geek and street culture, as well as growing up in the Parisian suburbs and therefore glimpsing various traditions, was a rewarding experience for the artist. He obtained a degree in Fine Arts in 2002 when he started to work as an art director as well as a digital graphic designer mainly in the music, luxury and fashion industry. His transition from graffiti to art on canvas was not seamless. Eventually he started painting on canvas to relax his mind and in order to get his hands dirty after all his clean, computer-based day job. Through his creative practice he tries to counteract the dramatic and brutal onslaught of information that submerges us every day through the mass media.
His surreal and unique world of eclecticism leads him to important collaborations, such as being an ambassador for Converse Cons in 2014 or designing the iconic Timberland Yellow Boot in 2016. His exhibitions in Paris, Zurich, Munich and other European cities continue to gain attention.
