Sten & Lex are known for their unusual and so tedious practice of stencil art which provides an offset look. Their approach of the street in a monumental way and the iconic poetry of their subjects built their current reputation.
This exhibition marks a step toward the affirmation of their career, with a new concept : the «Stencil Poster». They are now completely challenging the repeatable nature of stencil art ; each stencil is unique. Each stencil is used only once, the stencil itself is destroyed and is incorporated into the artwork itself. The ephemeral of the street reflects the continuity of the work in the gallery.
