BIO
Steve Lecru is a French multidisciplinary artist blending painting, calligraphy, graffiti, and traditional Chinese prints. He combines oil, ink, and acrylic to transform classical Chinese landscapes and scholar stones into contemporary compositions. Drawing on his experience in street art and illusion painting, Steve merges Western and Chinese visual cultures, layering graffiti-inspired gestures over historical motifs.
His work explores the tension between discipline and improvisation, tradition and innovation. Notable series include Sacred Clash:Revisited Traditional Chinese Painting, where he intervenes directly on printed classical artworks, and Scholar Stones, a fusion of calligraphy, graffiti, and mineral forms. Across all projects, his practice emphasizes cross-cultural dialogue, personal experience, and contemporary reinterpretation of Chinese visual heritage.
