It's all about funk, style and monsters for Montreal graffiti artist Astro. Having started painting in the mid-90s, he developed a very distinctive style and created a world of his own, filled with funky letters and weird creatures. His inspirations range from old school New York graffiti to European and Japanese comics.

Always searching for the perfect simple, bold outline for heightened visual impact, his productions should always be fresh and fun, with a vicious twist. In addition to graffiti, he paints canvases and does illustrations for various clients. He plays on oppositions: a dichotomy between a clean canvas and a dirty wall, good and evil, children and adults, giants and small creatures.

A smile can hide a weapon, a crack in a concrete wall can reveal a new world.
