Biography
Rey enters the world of graffiti in 1989 in Geneva through hip hop culture. He begins with the wild tag in the street and then learn about the colorful fresco. In 1990, with the help of three other artists, he created the collective EDK (esprit du karton). From the beginning of the adventure, the EDK stood out with their calligraphic and foundational style, directly inspired by the New York and Parisian schools. In 1991, Rey flew to the USA to continue his studies in art school. This trip takes a decisive turning point in his career as a writer (graffiti artist). It was during this period that he met many American artists, some of whom joined the EDK collective. From 1991 to 1995, Rey lived in Seattle where he painted an average of 2 to 3 frescoes per week.
In 1997 he went back to live in New York until 2002. During these ten years in the USA, Rey experienced hip hop and graffiti writing in an intense way, rubbing shoulders with various legends and activists of American hip hop. Rey specializes in lettering. It's the typographic side of the New York graffiti school that motivates him. He has painted over a thousand frescoes worldwide and in any medium. After more than 24 years of non-stop “underground" graffiti in the street, Rey is now exhibiting in galleries, while preserving its authentic side of pure graffiti.
