Galerie Jumble

Located in Lorient, Brittany, Galerie Jumble has embodied the energy of urban art since its founding in 2022 by Virginie and Pascal, two passionate art enthusiasts. Focused on muralism and stencil art, the gallery builds deep connections with artists, promoting both emerging talents and established creators.

Far more than a traditional gallery, Galerie Jumble serves as a bridge between the street and the canvas, hosting exhibitions in diverse venues around Lorient. These events encourage dialogue between artists and audiences, blending mural art and studio creations in a unique and accessible way.

The gallery also produces limited editions of screen prints and fine art Giclée prints, collaborating with renowned workshops such as Atelier Kencre in Lille. These editions, limited to 30 copies, provide high-quality, affordable art for collectors.

Among the artists represented are Kelu Abstract, Petite Poissone, Sébastien Bouchard, Raf Urban, Samione, and many others, offering a wide range of unique artistic styles to discover.

Artists spotlight:

Kelu Abstract (Lille): The Art of Multi-Layer Stencil

Born in Lille in 1982, where he still lives and works, Kelu Abstract defines himself as an urban artist. With his rock-spirited personality — passionate, committed, generous, and demanding — his portraits mirror who he is.

He began his artistic journey in 2017 by placing hand-painted acrylic portraits in urban spaces. Over time, his practice evolved toward stencil work, replacing pasted posters with sprayed wall paintings.

In 2020, he left his career as a special-needs educator to dedicate himself fully to his artistic path.

The faces he depicts are incisive, emotionally charged, yet free of imposed messages. His intention is to create a powerful exchange of gazes between his often-androgynous figures and the viewer. The impact of the eyes is central to his work.

In the studio, his canvases and mixed-media pieces combine richly layered backgrounds — created with paint, chalk, spray, pencils, markers, and collage — with stenciled figures that emerge vividly from the surface.

Continuing to experiment and push boundaries, Kelu Abstract refines the art of multi-layer stencil painting, showcased here through a selection of original works and screenprints presented by Galerie Jumble.

Kat&Action (Chambéry): When Illustration and Graffiti Fuse into Street Art

Kat&Action is a duo of artists who share a common passion for mural painting. Their practice thrives on the complementarity of their two approaches.

Action’s work explores mathematical precision and the way lines can bring movement to writing. For him, the alphabet is no longer merely a means of communication but an infinite artistic language infused with a futuristic and abstract vision of the modern world.
Kat, meanwhile, focuses her research on fauna and flora while occasionally exploring portraiture. In her compositions, color choice is essential — it creates dynamism, balance, and emotional resonance, breathing life into her ideas.

Together, using acrylic paint and aerosol, they reinterpret graffiti as a harmonious equation of forms and colors. Their artistic world — a vivid, highly graphic “urban jungle” — offers passersby a poetic escape from daily monotony, inviting them into captivating visual stories.

Beyond painting walls and canvases, Kat&Action also lead workshops and community events to engage local residents in their artistic approach. They believe in art’s power to inspire positive change by uniting art, nature, and community, transforming the gray walls of the city into a true hymn to life and diversity.

Jotapé (Chile): From Concrete to the Sacred

Originating from South America and raised within a modest, urban Catholic family, Jotapé grew up far removed from indigenous or spiritual traditions.

Educated in the city — which he now sees as a machine that alienates the mind — he describes himself as an agnostic explorer and a craftsman of reflection.

At age 25, he left his career as an architect after discovering in muralism and urban painting a deeply spiritual calling. His images draw on themes of death, spirituality, and the mysticism of life and nature. His figurative works blend the mystical and the spiritual with emotion, memory, and critique.

Jotapé believes that art should rekindle a sense of community through intimacy — restoring the ritual meaning of living together, in connection with our ecosystem — and offer new visions capable of reconnecting us with life itself.

Petite Poissone (Grenoble): The Art of Aphorism in Public Space

Petite Poissone, an artist from Grenoble, is delightfully eccentric — perhaps even wonderfully mad. She creates books with drawings, collages with words, paintings with bulls, animations with musicians… and other things too long to explain.

“I draw without any clear idea,” she says, “often with dark thoughts, because I draw when I’m bored. Then comes a silly little phrase to defuse the gloom — to make it look like I’m super funny, though I’m really not.”

A bit crazy indeed — and that’s exactly what makes her work so brilliant.

Carole b. (Le Mans): Liberty, Equality, Femininity

Carole b. is a committed artist whose work celebrates powerful and inspiring figures — often women — who have helped shape society.

Though not exclusively focused on female subjects, her portraits bring to life passionate, remarkable personalities whose stories and convictions continue to inspire. From iconic and historical figures to contemporary pop-culture icons, her work is both a celebration of feminine strength and an invitation to rediscover their narratives and contributions.

Through subtle references and layered symbolism, Carole b. offers playful yet meaningful ways to engage with history, culture, and vision. Her refined stencil and collage techniques reveal, layer after layer, the nuances and depth of each personality she portrays.

Matt_tieu (Paris): A Poetic Vision of Street Art

Matt_tieu roams city streets, chalk in hand, to sketch whimsical faces and a chosen menagerie meant to amuse and delight. His favorite subject is the ostrich — the world’s largest bird, slightly awkward, yet irresistibly charming.

His work is intentionally ephemeral, echoing the transient nature of street art where no mural lasts forever. The goal is to surprise and move the passerby — to offer, around a corner, the unexpected presence of a poetic creature.

His drawings often feature large birds — storks, marabous, and, of course, ostriches — as well as animal skeletons, serving as subtle environmental reminders.

Born in 1986 in Épinal, Matt_tieu lives in Paris and often spends time in Le Pouldu, in southern Brittany, where nature continues to inspire his gentle, poetic urban art.

Galerie Jumble invites audiences to experience urban art through exhibitions, collaborations, and unique editions that celebrate the dynamic spirit of the street art movement.
