Zevs

Zevs is another prominent name in the world of French street art.

His early work included painting shadows around street furniture in Paris and ‘bombing’ models' faces on 48 sheet posters to make it look like they’d been shot, with red paint dripping from their eyes and foreheads.

His most famous works are his ‘Liquidated Logos’ where he drips paint from the logos of huge corporations such as McDonalds, Coca Cola and Apple, to make it look like they are melting.

He says: “By pouring paint over the logos, it dissolves in front of the viewer’s eyes, drawing attention to, and visually disturbing the recognisable and omnipresent trademark.”

A bit pretentious? Perhaps. But remember, when you’re French you can spout any amount of hot air and still sound poetic. Besides, his work looks cool, so we’ll let him off. See below.
