  Presentation


Antwan Horfee first gained recognition as an independent creative artist in Paris. Inspired by avant-garde artistic movements, he projects the action and performative aspect of his outdoor work into his gallery work, always using spray techniques for his abstract and slightly distorted representations. He skillfully combines figurative and abstract elements in works that are often critical of the world of contemporary art and the historical canon of art.
