Fafi

Fafi is a Graffiti - artist Toulouse. Its female and humorous universe brings closer it in particular to Miss Van and Miss Kat. Originating in Toulouse, the omnipresence of Fafi in the world of art and the graffiti is first of all noticed on the walls of its birthplace in 1994. At that time, its female characters sexy and amusing, sometimes aggressive, attract the glance of the whole world and contribute to the blossoming of a very new graphic language. Exploring femininity through its stereotypes, and by using them in its advantage, Fafi collects the attention of many people and thus starts to travel throughout the world, with thousands of Fafinettes in its brushes and its pots of painting. Europe, the USA, Japan, Hong-Kong, the planet is an adventure playground, and it is only the beginning. Quickly, Sony proposes to him to draw 6 characters for the collection of toys “Time Capsules”, an evolution of its characters in 3 dimensions almost natural. Other figurines will be born, as well as many exposures and collaborations with Colette, Adidas, LeSportSac, Coca Cola, and of multiple articles in the most prestigious magazines (Vogue, It, The Face, XLR 8R, Yen, etc). The world of animation 3D starts to make him eye in the video of Ronson Mark putting in scene Lily Allen “fafinettized”. Work with the multiple facets of Fafi is documented in its books GIRLS ROCK'N'ROLL (2003) and COILS AND FAFINESS (2006), two great successes which one finds in the bookstores of the museums and a selection of shops. In 2007, Fafi entered a new phase. Become mom and inhabitant from now on Paris are factors which introduced a new dimension into its creations. Fafinettes are not only fly girls, but they also control a whole populated universe of creatures, houses and vehicles. This universe is called The Carmine Vault.
