Almine Rech presents Once Upon a Time the French Literature, a project by Edgar Plans, on view in the Front Space in Paris.
Fascinated with graffiti, urban art, and comic books from an early age, Edgar Plans soon surrounded himself with pencils, pens, brushes, and colors and focused on painting and drawing. When he became an artist, he created an unusual world, populated with figures that are often close to the famous Japanese kawaii aesthetic, which encompasses everything that is cute, childlike, and very colorful, such as the Pokémon Pikachu, certain manga, and rainbow unicorns.
