Ed Broner, 2024
Maybe I don't have any bearings, that's life, don't worry... or in french: Peut étre que je n´ai pas de repéres, c´est la vie, il ne faut pas s´en faire!
Ed Broner, a self-taught French artist born in Paris, began his artistic journey in the late 1980s within the Parisian graffiti subculture. After moving to Berlin, his focus shifted to painting, where he explores the beauty of authenticity while incorporating symbols of modern urban subcultures.
In 2018, he published "Vagabondage" (Hatje Cantz), capturing Berlin's nightlife. His works, serving as visual diaries, blend elements of graffiti with motifs from traditional African and Aboriginal art, bridging cultural divides.
Broner's art reflects on contemporary aesthetics with subversive irony, engaging in critical dialogue about humanity's nature in a postmodern world.
