Jeu de société

MonkeyBird’s alias reveals a lot about this French street art duo formed by Louis Boidron and Edouard Egea. Their artistic name incorporates their two distinct totemic personalities: Tremor the Monkey, representing realism and the physicality of the body, and Blow the Bird, representing the dreamer and the spirituality of the soul. It is a name that symbolizes their constant play between dream and reality, both in their personal and professional lives. This dream-reality shift is transposed into MonkeyBird’s hyper-detailed and monumental representations that capture a balanced universe caught in a continuous state of flux. Using the metaphor of a chess game, this canvas captures the tension between individuals in society.
