Inside Ramzi Adek’s unique universe
Artist of Tunisian origin living abroad, his pseudonym
(abbreviation of “adequate”) and his style were forged on the
walls of Paris. ADEK has learned everything about graffiti. He
gave birth to a subversive universe embodied by a colorful and
generous aesthetic, at the crossroad between street and pop art.
He recently presented in August 2015 an artistic performance
at the prestigious restaurant La Closerie located in Tunis.

or several years, Ramzi Adek has devoted himself to a genuine passion for graffiti, while
being a dj and a music producer. In 2009, he decided to devote himself exclusively to
painting. He chooses to work in a studio, on canvas, which allowed him to develop a wide
imaginary where urban culture, pop icons and references to modern and contemporary art
meet. Over the years, his style and calligraphy take shape. Adek builds character and finds
through his art a determination and an open mind. A philosophy that opens all doors to the
one who started from nothing.
Mickey Mouse is a recurring character in Ramzi Adek’s universe. By opening the gateway of onirism, he urges us to
a reflection on our condition. His reassuring round shapes, his large ears and his immutable grin reveal flaws, sins
and torments : he becomes an allegory of the human condition struggling with the faults of its time. Pop icon,
MICKADEK goes through the canvas, stretching the possibilities of this metaphorical figure to the frontiers of
abstraction. Defying the obvious, deconstructing the contemporary myths, Adek’s work requires attention and
taming. Beyond this perceptive look at society, appears a reflection on the origins, the course and the situation of an
artist whose discourse never interferes with the search of formal beauty, but relies on it. www.ramziadek.com I
