Aket has created ten artworks on themed graffbomb'z
Graffbombz is a project inspired by the famous magazine of the same name. Historically, graffiti and tagging hold a significant place in Aket's artistic journey.
Deeply committed to respecting this culture, and having not practiced tagging enough to claim legitimacy in it, Aket collaborated with Mazer Restart, an artist recognized in the Lille region for his graffiti talent. Together, they brought a portion of his creations to life.
In this project, tagging is used to alter a monument, showcasing various celebrities. This artistic approach aims to provoke thought about how urban art can transform our perception of public spaces and iconic figures.
By utilizing contemporary graffiti techniques, Aket and Mazer Restart explore the boundaries between honoring the traditions of graffiti and embracing new forms of artistic expression. The Graffbombz project thus becomes a genuine dialogue between the past and the present, paying tribute to the urban culture that inspires them.
This collaboration also allows for questioning the role of art in society and opens up a discussion on the legitimacy of artistic practices in spaces often deemed sacred. Ultimately, Graffbombz does not simply alter a monument; it invites the viewer to redefine their perception of art and its environment.

Texte of artworks :
« Le vent s'est levé et les feuilles mortes laissent place à la vie. Pourtant mon regard désinvolte s’efforce d’admirer le champ en fleur qui me laisse parfois indifférent.
Tel que je suis, je récolte ce que je sème. »
