French Graffitti Artist Remed’s Morrocan Inspired Paintings

Here’s a Bio from his Flickr site:

“France has long been a breeding ground for unusual yet badass graff styles. It’s no surprise then that the work of French graffiti artist REMED is both unusual and badass in the extreme. REMED is a spin-off alter-ego of the artist Guilo who initially gained fame with his Moroccan-influenced paintings of bearded men. That heavily-patterned style mixed with a yen to create art on any available surface led Guilo to create the REMED persona to distinguish his new characters and symbols from previous work. What sets him apart is the focus on his own evolution and a minimum of deep message. He’s doing his own thing, and it’s nice to come across that particular kind of passion in the graff world, the pure joy of cr eating regardless of outside influences.” Source : Our art site.com(magazineweb US)”

Look at these images, so minimal and so Swedish 60’s meets african tribal. I’m excited to be witness to the evolution of his work:

In a way his work reminds me of Swedish illustrator and designer Olle Eksell, but Remed’s work is so much more serious and contemporary:
