Fuzi

FUZI

PARIS  / FRANCE

Born in 1975, Stanislas "FUZI" Baritaux is a multidisciplinary artist: painter, illustrator, photographer, tattoo artist, author, but above all a graffiti artist. 

He started out in the Paris suburbs in the late 80's and made his mark in the mid-90's with a style of graffiti he dubbed "ignorant style", inspired by his admiration for the discipline's New York pioneers. His aim is to free himself from the codes of the genre and of technique, to let the energy of the gesture and the purity of intention speak for themselves, following the example of art brut but remaining within the illegal framework of graffiti vandalism, developing his work mainly on the sides of trains and subways in Paris and Europe. 

Always eager to discover new things, he continues his artistic explorations in a variety of mediums: canvases, sculptures, album covers, comic strips, cartoons, silkscreen prints and textile creations. A total self-taught artist, he constantly renews his style, while maintaining the authenticity and freedom he inherited from his graffiti practice. 

In 2022, he presented his solo show "Defaced" at the Museum of Graffiti in Miami, the world's first institution dedicated to graffiti and graffiti culture. Today, he exhibits his work all over the world, collaborates with numerous brands (Adidas, Timberland, etc.) and his work is the subject of numerous publications.

Today, he divides his time between Paris, his hometown, and Los Angeles, his main place of residence.
