Olivier "2SHY"

//Graphic Designer & Visual artist
//Freelance 

Completely self-taught, 2SHY has pushed his boundaries of imagination to create a unique signature style heavily inspired via his adventures worldwide and the friendships formed during the travels.For over a decade, 2SHY has presented a vibrant, colorful and spontaneous universe. He has developed an iconic and pioneering lettering style combining the worlds of graffiti, popular culture and memories of his childhood.

2SHY’s world presents a reinvention of his own style via the use of lines and pictorial techniques. He has introduced the legacy of his skills in writing culture and tools of the digital era, exploring his way through visual worlds made up of illustration, graphic design and handmade typography. 
2SHY has constantly moved from one world to another, diversifying his mediums via solo work and collaborations.

From the hardcore era of painting trains in the 90s to exhibiting in contemporary art galleries, 2SHY’s creative evolution and present day style is now almost institutionalised. Through various commands, he has directed the production of large scale paintings, created visual identities for artists, brands and events. 2SHY continues through his projects to make a mark and imprint the spirit of a generation that is uninhibited by styles and dedicated to vivid expressions.
