Let Them Eat Paint, 2024
At the heart of Epi's work, which draws from street art, Surrealism, Pop art, and mid-century posters, lies a deep desire to satirize the state of the contemporary art world. Hailing from Bristol, England, Epi began working in central Paris during the early 2000s. Influenced by the city’s street art scene and its history of political protest art, he initially made works consisting of stenciled quotations referencing French literary masterpieces. In 2014, Epi returned to the United Kingdom, where he moved away from the street and towards the canvas.
