Mode 2
Berlin / Germany
A native of Mauritius, MODE 2 is a major artist in global Hip Hop culture, and a pioneer of post-New York graffiti. In 1985, he initiated the creation of The Chrome Angelz (TCA) crew and has had a considerable influence on figurative art. He excelled at depicting characters, and gained notoriety when he was published on the cover of “Spraycan Art” in 1987.
Already working on canvas, he began exhibiting his art pieces in galleries in 1995 and is now a major player on the international contemporary scene. The harmony that emerges from his compositions highlights the link between artistic disciplines, all of which come together in a culture that goes far beyond the name Hip Hop. MODE 2 is the icon of an aesthetic of movement, interweaving and rhythm.
