STF, expo in Paris

PLATFORM magazine presents an exhibition of STF. Selftaught, found of rock’n'roll culture, cutting and color, STF will give his distorted perception of a universe shifted with a work based on the recovery and the recovery of images, posters and materials. STF is an artist worth discovering for his unique style and his use of types, and this is even the opportunity to meet him at the opening because the guy lives in Marseille therefore passing through Paris.
You will soon see more about on SHX with pictures from the show and an exclusive interview of STF
