About Thibaud Tchertchian

Thibaud Tchertchian (b. 1983, Colombes, France) is a French contemporary artist. He was born in Colombes in 1983 and grew up in Suresnes. Co-founder of the FATSK crew at sixteen, he studied at the Beaux-Arts of Rueil-Malmaison, later presenting his degree as an independent candidate at the École supérieure d'art de La Réunion, obtained with the congratulations of the jury, and began painting with spray cans in the early 2000s. His practice blends street art, portraiture, and mixed media on canvas.

After living in Bangkok (2013–2020), where he held solo exhibitions at Rock Around Asia, Soy Sauce Factory, S Gallery, and Galerie Goja, he returned to Europe.
