Mist (b. 1972) dedicates himself completely to sculpture and painting in his studio in Montpellier, France where he lives today. Mist discovered graffiti along the railroads of the RER (Regional Express Rail) in the late 80s. Standing out from his competitors in 1991, he exhibited with Futura, Keith Haring, and Jean-Michel Basquiat at the Musée National des Monuments Français. In 1998 he developed his work of sculpture and realized his first character in volume.
Mist is recognized as the pioneer of the so-called "designer toys.“ His vinyl toys such as Orus, Malus, Lucius, and many more, are collected all over the world. The specialists place him in the world's top five artists’ side as Kaws and Futura.
Today, Mist dedicates himself completely to the sculpture and to the painting in his studio in Montpellier where he lives today. The sharp, edgy, and clear lines nevertheless remind me of his wildstyle pieces in the streets of Paris.
