You may have seen he ceramics by Julien. We’re now pleased to offer a selection of original acrylic works by the same artist.

For those that don’t know, born in 1979, K'trY, alias Julien Lebbihi (or LE2BHI), has always been attracted to graffiti, tagging and, by extension, all kinds of calligraphy. In search of a controlled freedom of the line.

As a ceramist, his graphic work on clay leads him to explore other supports.

Julien Lebbihi discovered graffiti when he was eight years old. From then on, he never stopped looking at graffiti on the walls, then their little brothers, the tags. His nickname evolved from King, to King Tryvers, contracting to K'try. He then adopted another nickname: Dago, in homage to Dago Red by J. Fante, a pejorative term that discriminates against Italian-Americans that can be translated as "big red", the equivalent of our wop or macaroni. Dago is a way of saying "I'm on the fringe, you despise me but fuck you". He uses one or the other pseudo according to his graffiti desires.

He has never stopped graffiti. And it is by linking graffiti and ceramics that everything made sense.
