Art urbain. L'art urbain, ou street art[1], est, à la fois, un mouvement artistique et un mode d'expression artistique, qui s'affirme ou se revendique ainsi à partir de la fin du XXe siècle. « Aux origines illégales, subversives et éphémères, il s’agit en général d’œuvres ou productions plastiques prenant en compte le contexte de création de manière à le questionner, l'explorer, le marquer, le dégrader, le détourner ou le sublimer[2]. » C'est principalement un art éphémère vu par un large public.

I think most people follow my work and blog for the more quirky, interestingly processed and sometimes a bit 'cliché vintage' photographs. They're accessible to a wider audience, they don't require a lot of explanation and invite people to make their own assumptions and construct their own meanings. " He continues, "Then there's the other side of my work that I think I've only really just begun to explore. The more fine art approach, with a lot of research and context behind it. The whole process is a lot slower, nearly always shot on film, and with an intended meaning behind it which I try to put into words and present as part of the work.
