Painting on canvas (blaze in relief)
William Pinçon, known as ZENOY, comes from the western suburbs of Paris. He discovered graffiti at the end of the 80s through one of his classmates who, freshly returned from the United States, was scribbling tags on his class sheets. Instantly caught in the net, he quickly found his first blase, Awaysun, which he began to graffiti in the streets, on trains and on buses leading to school in 1988.
Zenoy is a pure writer. The essence of his art comes from the street and the vandal writing that he now transposes on canvas. His style is more and more in demand in the art market. Despite this, his metronome remains graffiti and lettering. His urban cradle does not prevent him from taking typography to new horizons. Seeking to harmonize colors and shapes, he draws inspiration from personal experiences to give renewal to his productions.
His style is now perfectly integrated into the landscape of contemporary urban art: between tradition and innovation. With his instinctive and incisive line, he brings his typographies in a mixture of explosive colors and material games. He reinvents himself tirelessly, taking graffiti ever higher; notably by diversifying his supports: walls, canvases, mailboxes or even art toys are now part of his artistic sanctuary.
1974 , France
Zenoy was influenced by the American Hip-Hop movement and began tagging as early as 1988. Mixing styles and colors to create his letters, his “blaze” has been seen on subways, trains, railways, and walls. He was fortunate to have a patron who provided him the opportunity to work in a studio and develop his art on canvas. Today, his work is found in galleries and in a variety of media, including sculpture and mailboxes, as well as in collaboration with other artists.
