At the ONE TOUTOU Gallery (Stand 122), you will meet 3 different personalities: the stencil artist YARPS, an iconic figure of underground Street Art, the artist REYOL ENJOY whose colourful imagination illuminates his contemporary style canvases and WE NEED ART, the online platform that presents works of more than 30 French Street Art artists.
“I like provocation and shocking images. This is my main source of inspiration, with music which is downright vital for me” Born in 1966, YARPS is a Parisian stencil artist. Palindromic word of SPRAY, his surname has been known for years on the artistic scene of the capital. He started in 1985 when he came across superb graffiti in the premises of a famous Parisian radio station. “It was magnificent, but the stencil was different and it immediately appealed to me. There is the “quickly done well done” side which is completely adequate to intervene in the street quickly”.
YARPS has always had admiration for the graffiti artists of the 80s who covered Paris with their creations. His favourite subjects are film figures in anthology films (Clint Eastwood in “Dirty Harry”, Gérard Jugnot in “SLe Père Noël est une ordure”, Marylin Monroe in “The Seven Year Itch”). The characters take aim at the viewer with heavy guns… while the pin-ups show their firecracker.

“The idea is stronger than the technique, the idea cannot be learned. You have to cultivate it, make it emerge.“ I am a French artist. I live close to Paris. Art enthusiastic, I decided to start creating, using all the material accumulated and repressed for a long time.
I mix sources of inspiration, African, Aboriginal or Amerindian art, the texts of great writers or illustrious unknowns. I still work in music but “…rock and electro only”.
My main motivation is to create visual sensations, to make colours speak. I create points of light in the places where my canvases are hung.
My paintings tell stories. I convey emotions, positive or negative.
Letting yourself be guided by your emotions, your feelings, not hesitating to let yourself go on the canvas without thinking about who it may be intended for, having the freedom to create in the moment… that is my approach.
REYOL ENJOY.
