André
At the end of the 1980s he was the first artist to introduce a character Mr. A, (his signature stick figure with a top hat) instead of the usual tag name. Mr. A soon became a cult Parisian symbol in the creative world. As a result, the character soon travelled from the city walls to high fashion magazines and into several fashion collaborations. Andre has painted Mr.A over 100,000 times around the world and consequentially both Mr A and André have become international iconic figures.
One of Andrés most famous projects is entitled Love Graffiti where he spray-paints the name of a lover in big bubble letters at a particular location chosen by each client. This was a move away from the Âpreconceived idea that graffiti art had to maintain a singular tag or name. Each love graffiti comes with a photograph and a certificate to keep the trace of this ephemeral art work.
At the Tony Hawk Show, the public will have the exceptional opportunity to witness the notorious André at work as he transforms giant ramps into unique works of art.
