Clet
1966 - Present
Clet Abraham is an Italian artist born in 1966. He studied at Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Rennes and lives and works in Florence where he has his own studio.
He redirects traffic signs in order to create unique work with bright colors, marked with a hint of humor. His work is based on criticizing the strictness of signage, therefore he gives these signs a more humanistic dimension which symbolize rules and regulations. It is in Florence that he began this redirection, he cuts stickers in advance and sticks them on panels in Italian streets and cities.
His work can now be seen on the streets of European capitals such as Paris, Rome, London, Turin, Milan or Barcelona.
