Based in Paris and originally from Algerian/Berber descent, Lounys got his start after co-founding the Ereska collective in Saint-Denis. Lounys’ father came to Paris before Algeria’s war of independence with only one piece of luggage. He was forced to become the holder of the house at a young age- working as a builder in order to send money back to his family in Algeria. A life of sacrifice and dedication that bleeds through his son’s work; amidst the bright colors and pop art aesthetic, Lounys draws in accents of Berber tattooing from his roots. His first wall in Miami was a celebration to say the least… keep an eye out for this one.
