Kalouf - artist in the contemporary art gallery Y Galerie

Kalouf - Big Hair 2

Born on 31 January 1978 in Port-Gentil (Gabon), Pascal Lambert loved drawing as a child and later made a name for himself under the moniker “Kalouf” in the late 90s by creating illegal graffiti in the street, blending lettering, decoration and characters in a colourful style, at once realistic, caricature-like and fantastical.

In 1998, he joined the ACC crew, a group of 10 graffiti artists who took over unlikely places and specialised in creating large-scale themed murals. For a decade or so, he had many rewarding experiences and refined his spray can and airbrush technique with ACC, as well as through his Kaligraff organisation, which took him to many countries, and the 3 Barons, a collective of visual artists, graphic designers and mural painters.

In 2010, with the support of Orly cultural centre, Kalouf created his first solo show on canvas. He displayed around fifteen paintings depicting the 4 disciplines of Hip Hop culture. His solo work, influenced by hyperrealism and 3D, has been respected in Graffiti and Street Art circles ever since.
