Self-taught artist living and working in Paris. Yann Penhouet has always been passionate about art. My technique is founded on collage.
Somewhere between pop art and street art, his work foremost aims at creating the illusion to come across an old poster on the street.
His papers are selected, collected, recolored and enhanced with paint and then sticked, unsticked and torn out around some of his favourite themes (automobil, pin-up and cinema 50’s &60’s)
Standing between vintage and temporary art, his works cannot help arousing in the public a certain nostalgia and bringing people back to their own life at the same time, hence creating a very strong tie between the artist and the public
His sources of inspiration are: Mimmo Rotela, François Dufrêne, Jacques Villeglé and Raymond Hains …
