NASTY started graffiti in 1988 in Paris. At the beginning of 1990, with a handful of other Graffiti-artists, he distinguished himself by painting color frescoes on trains. We find his name in the Rapt tunnels, on the banks of the Seine, along the railway lines and on the trains of the Paris metro. His underground activity has made him a reference among current generations. At the same time, he participated in many advertising projects (1664, Mercedes, Bnp Paribas, Burn, Bic, Nestlé...) or in the world of "artoys": Kidrobot and Toy2R in Hong-Kong. In his exhibitions, Nasty stages the famous enamel plates of the Parisian metro which he has taken over for fifteen years. Thanks to her original supports, her work stands out at auctions dedicated to urban art, notably at Artcurial and Drouot. His career since 1988 has been traced in a book published by Alternatives editions: "Nasty & Slice, Artists on the run". His works have been exhibited at the Palais de Chaillot, the Chapon gallery, the Magda Danysz gallery and he was part of the Gallizia collection exhibited at the Grand Palais in 2009. Since 2008, he has been represented by the Bailly Contemporain gallery in Paris. More recently, Arte devoted a 26-minute documentary to him, in Art & la Manière.
