Life and career
Kurar was born in Clermont-Ferrand, France, in 1983. He lives and works here and in Paris. In the 1990s Kurar started graffiti art as an amateur, parallel to his studies. After improving his graffiti skills over many years, he focused on stencil art. Kurar first exhibited his works in France. As his popularity grew, he began to have exhibitions in Europe and eventually, all over the world. The first exclusive auction of his art took place in Cornette de Saint Cyr (Paris, France).
Kurar has worked in collaboration with commercial brands. His collaboration with the luggage brand Eastpak consisted of customizing products, specifically a range of bags, which were later auctioned on eBay.
Kurar uses stencil art to express his opinion of the world that he forms from the daily life around him. His work reflects ideas of modern society, war, religion and consumerism. His work includes contrasting elements of humour and subtlety.
Techniques
Kurar is a stencil graffiti artist and he belongs to the international street art movement. His techniques include fresco, stencil and collage. He uses contrast, mainly between grey, black and fluorescent colors, to highlight the important ideas and details in his works
Political and social themes
Kurar’s aim is to demonstrate his opinion on modern society (modernity). Inspired by the visions and atmosphere of the 1930s, he wants to create a link with the current period. He highlights the changes that people undergo due to the contemporary world and its environment. He wants to put the stress on the excess, the coldness and the individualism that characterize our era. Kurar is socially and politically committed. He is inspired by the social issues which he finds to be very important. Subjects that Kurar dwells upon are war, religion and consumerism. He wants to deliver a message of hope by using poetry, humor and provocation. The symbol that Kurar uses most often is infancy, which represents innocence, the beginning of something new and the perpetuity of humans. He found it an effective way to pass his messages, due of the contrast that children create, which are linked with current events and the problems that society faces today.
