Tanc-率性而为的法国街头涂鸦艺术家

Tancrède Perrot,亦称Tanc,法国艺术家,1979年生于法国巴黎。其作品中所散发的独特风格,与其街头涂鸦艺术的实践和发展经历密不可分。他认为街头艺术是短暂的,且创作过程比作品本身更为重要。在他看来,既然身为一名艺术家,就必须拥抱一种全情投入、忠于本心的生活方式。
Tanc主要活跃于法国,并在德国、英国、摩洛哥和纽约等地举办展览,因而在国际舞台上声名鹊起。

在千禧年到来之际,Tanc转而聚焦工作室创作。他探索了线条的各种可能性,从而超越了普通的涂鸦艺术家。在作品中,他力求将各种元素相互融合,比如自己的名字、各种标签、形形色色的个体、音乐以及生活等等。相比于完美,他更侧重于率性而为的创作,因此他本人的状态决定了作品的稠密度和精准度。他的心跳就像节拍器那样引导手臂的动作,但他并非要控制这种律动,而是试图理解那些跃然于画布之上的构图——这些构图是介于意识和无意识之间的完美平衡。他会在画布上加入自己的签名,这是少年时代起在街头涂鸦创作中养成的习惯。可以说,这是艺术家以本能的方式宣泄心中对于自我表达的诉求:占领城市空间,并让自己名传大街小巷。

在创作中,Tanc很快放弃了字母这一元素,进而展开了对形式抽象的探索。他的作品着重运用线条和色彩,为绘画传统赋予了全新的生命;并在其中融入了街头艺术的精髓:无孔不入的行动、尽善尽美的姿势、对于意外变化的接受以及强烈的个人风格的表达。换言之,艺术家试图以一种感官的、亲切的、直接的方式,让行动、能量以及内心情感扣动观者的心弦。

Tancrède Perrot aka Tanc is a French artist born in 1979 in Paris. His work is characterized by the uniqueness of his style, which is better understood acknowledging Tanc grew up as a graffiti artist. He sees street art as ephemeral, and that the creative process matters more than the result itself. To him, being an artist means embracing a certain way of life: to be fully committed, and show absolute integrity.
He has exhibitions in France regularly, but his work has gained international prominence with exhibitions in Germany, in the UK, Morocco, or New York.

At the turn of the century, he mainly focused on studio work. His exploration of the possibilities of the line allowed him to immediately stand out from the usual graffiti artists. His work strives towards synthesis of his name, of tags, of individuals, of music, of life. His work does not seek perfection, but spontaneity. The artist’s state defines the work’s density and its precision. His heart beat activates his arm like a metronome: the artist is not trying to control this flow, but rather understand the composition that suddenly appears on the canvas, perfect balance between consciousness and unconsciousness. He appends his signature on his canvasses as he used to do so on the walls with his graffiti since his teenage years. This discipline is above all an instinctive outlet for a need to express himself: he takes over the urban space and shouts his name across the city.

But soon the letters disappear and Tanc starts exploring formal abstraction. By focusing his work on line and color, he regenerates the pictorial tradition by confronting it with street art’s essential vitality: prevalence of action, perfection of the gesture, acceptance of the unexpected, and expression of a strong singularity. Action, energy, and the artist’s emotion thus aim to touch the viewer in a sensual, intimate and immediate way.
