Biography

Flavien Demarigny, a.k.a. Mambo, lives in Los Angeles This self-taught artist worked with La Force Alphabétique, a collective of mural painters, from 1986 to 1997, and joined 9ème Concept in 1998.

He has simultaneously worked on his own pieces and on a number of other projects - he created the logo and décor, and wrote the graphic guidelines, for Groland, an acerbic weekly newsreel on French TV, akin to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Mambo is a travelling painter, designer and graphic artist. His work is figurative and currently reflects modern society's icons, well-known visual codes and pictograms. He uses popular media and consumer society imagery, honed into his own style - then added his own codes. The clues he peppers around his work tie in with our culture's memory. Mambo sees his creations as reflections of the world: they are overwhelmed by an overdose of information and they raise questions.
