A monograph on Lady K (156, Paris), Writer who comes to disturb the silence of the walls and true star of Street Art with more than a hundred works represented which are so many praises of freedom.

Lady K, who defines herself as a writer, is considered one of the leading figures in the world of street art. From her first graffiti on paper in fifth grade, from figuration to abstraction, Lady K, both beautiful and rebellious, never ceases to develop her works crossed by fashion, the letter, the sentence and mathematical formulas, in order to “deviate from a popular culture to achieve something more scholarly. “. She intends to transform our view of the world with the hope of enchanting us. “I don’t want viewers to feel uncomfortable, attacked or worried in front of my works… On the contrary, I want them to feel protected and happy, like in front of a Niki de Saint-Phalle.”
His messages, both political and poetic, are expressed on city walls as well as in vacant lots, in metro trains or on canvas or paper to be exhibited in galleries. A character who likes to transform into spectacular outfits, Lady K stages herself by filming her performances. Her videos broadcast on social networks, where we see her tagging in the streets in broad daylight in front of passers-by, or in the metro among travelers, panic the web.

This monograph, which gives pride of place to pictorial works, makes it possible to discover the soul, the spirit and the heart of this brilliant, prolific, extraordinary artist who, halfway through her life (she has just forty), will leave a considerable imprint on contemporary urban art.
