“Artists need to keep making art to remind people of what freedom looks like. I think that’s the real role of any artist.” Parisian street artist Punk Me Tender has worked to become one of the most iconic street artists in Los Angeles, while keeping his identity hidden. Growing up in France, he knew early on that he had to chase his artistic dream, and followed his passion to Los Angeles. He now holds a studio in the heart of Hollywood. Elvis Presley inspired him early on in his career and he started to see the street as his canvas. His impressive street murals leave ideas of beauty, spirit, and transformation across LA and have become a hallmark and inspiration to many. Following instinct, Punk Me Tender uses a spin art technique to transform the major themes of his work into a full sensorial experience for viewers. In many of his paintings, the wings of aluminum butterflies lift off the surface of the canvas. The three dimensionality gesturing an exploration of freedom. He later covers them in vibrant colors of paint, as if to poetically encourage them to transform into something beautiful. Punk Me Tender is also known for his original photography, bold and bright colors and high-gloss embellishments like glittery Swarovski crystals, diamond dust and glossy acrylic coatings that take his work that extra mile. No matter his choice of medium, the theme of women with an essence of empowered sexuality stays consistent. His work is exhibited in over 30 high-end galleries around the world and is sought after by international collectors and luxury hotel brands like Miami South Beach, SLS, Nobu and others. Punk Me Tender often works with famous clients on their personal projects. To name a few - Khloé Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Kylie Jenner, Mariah Carey, and Dave Navarro.
