Kevin Lucbert was born in Paris in 1985 and lives and works between Berlin, Germany and Paris, France. Lucbert graduated in 2008 from the School of Decorative Arts in Paris. As a member of an artists' collective, The Ensaders, which he co-founded with Yann Bagot and Nathanaël Mikles, Lucbert regularly participates in performances, exhibitions and leads drawing workshops. He has worked for The New York Times, The New Yorker magazine, Variety, the Mondadori Group, Starbucks, Issey Miyake, Hermès and Bic. The latter acquired some of Lucbert's works for their contemporary art collection, which was shown at the Cent Quatre cultural centre, in Paris, in 2018. Taking his inspiration from multiples sources – M.C. Escher, Alfred Kubin, Philippe Mohlitz and Schuitten and Peeters's "Les Cités obscures" – Lucbert has developed a unique creation in which he explores a parallel world, an absurd universe that is entirely his own. In his Blue Lines series, executed in blue biro pen, he explores surreal landscapes and frontal and imaginary compositions – a universe of dreamlike spaces.
