ZEVS is an anonymous French contemporary artist widely known for his LV, Chanel and other logo drippings. He was an early and influential graffiti artist and active as a tagger in Paris in the 90’s. Working with other French names of the second half of the 90’s, like Andre and Invader, ZEVS has been among the prominent figures who pioneered the French street art scene.

By the end of the 90’s he became known for his poetic drawings of shadows in Paris. Later he “bombed” models on the billboards between the eyes. Though his interventions have been very popular, it has been discussed in France whether it was vandalism or art.

In 2002 he cut out a model of a gigantic Lavazza poster in Berlin. Above the hole in the poster he wrote “VISUAL KIDDNAPPING – PAY NOW!”. This intervention not only struck a chord with art lovers and people in Berlin but it also inspired political activists.
