French artist Naguy Claude blends
pop art and street art to create an innovative and familiar niche. His artworks
feature iconic characters from American pop culture, such as the Simpsons,
Mickey Mouse, Dragon Ball Z, and the Pink Panther, infused with positive
inscriptions like “Love” and “Just Exist”. The combination of positivity and
nostalgia creates an uplifting and engaging aesthetic
Claude
grew up in a working-class neighborhood in the Parisian suburbs, which exposed
him to a diverse range of cultural traditions and perspectives. This upbringing
fueled his curiosity and helped him develop a unique outlook on the world. He
participated in his first exhibition at the age of 16, and since then, he has
created his artwork under the artist nickname of "Nacks".
Despite being self-taught, Claude is constantly exploring new
methods of expressing mainstream culture idols. He uses a variety of media,
including aerosol, brush, graffiti, dripping, collage, stencil, and more, to
acquire deep knowledge and innovative techniques. This thirst for discovery
drives him to continually evolve and refine his craft, resulting in elevated
artworks with a thick black trace that outlines his iconic characters
juxtaposed with striped bright colors and a sheen of iridescence.
Claude works have
been exhibited and collected worldwide.
