Enigme09

Former Graffiti Artist in the 1990s, Enigme09 discovered photomontage art in 2009. The painter Jacques Monory supported him in his path by suggesting a poetic artistic approach. His compositions bring together elements from the world of advertising or popular culture and others of Art History. Their mixture is scouring, explosive, surprising, disturbing, but it also raises questions about the status of images and a possible hierarchy of values between them. The artist manages to give meaning to familiar signs, emptied of all content due to their excessive presence. But, of course, this meaning is most often very far from their original meaning. “Enigme09 sums up his artistic credo in a concise formula: ‘give voice to the images to open our eyes.”
