Guilo is REMED, REMED is Guilo

Picasso's later work, 50's Jazz albums and African art are a few of the things that have influenced his style. REMED is known for creating big, disruptive imagery that dominates with a style that is reminiscent of the past but all his own.

“France has long been a breeding ground for unusual yet badass graff styles. It’s no surprise then that the work of French graffiti artist REMED is both unusual and badass in the extreme. REMED is a spin-off alter-ego of the artist Guilo who initially gained fame with his Moroccan-influenced paintings of bearded men. That heavily-patterned style mixed with a yen to create art on any available surface led Guilo to create the REMED persona to distinguish his new characters and symbols from previous work. What sets him apart is the focus on his own evolution and a minimum of deep message. He’s doing his own thing, and it’s nice to come across that particular kind of passion in the graff world, the pure joy of creating regardless of outside influences." - Remed.es/web/biography

“Remed takes every style past its due date and makes it fresh. Art Nouveau and 'Free to be You and Me'; graphics of the seventies are made strikingly contemporary. If you were to synthesize into a single body of work, the New Image; of the early eighties with the graffiti writers who entered the New York art world around the same time. . . . Remed would emerge. Experienced with a limited time frame for execution, Remed solves color interactions quickly and accurately. The English language is manipulated with formidable typographic skill and a vicious sense of style. You know Remed is special when you see his transmutation of the curved arms of the French avant-garde. He’s paid his dues, he’s dubbing over history.” - Remed.es
