Artist Bio

OIP

Punkmetender (Romain Lefebvre) is a French-born, Miami-based artist who merges street art, fine art, and digital media into a singular language of transformation. After relocating to Los Angeles in the early 2000s, he spent over a decade developing and creating alongside Thierry Guetta (Mr. Brainwash), helping shape the rise of contemporary street art and appearing in the acclaimed Banksy-directed documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop. His practice is a dialogue between control and chaos — 3D butterflies in metal, silkscreened wings, and layers of paint applied through dripping, splashing, and spinning. He uses custom-built tools, from massive spin tables to custom-built machines, allowing gravity, speed, and motion to become collaborators in the work. 

These creations live on canvas, in sculpture, and across city walls — including guerrilla installations that reclaim public space with poetic rebellion. For Punkmetender, the paint itself is never the focus — it is simply the vehicle. What matters is the energy, the message, the values embedded in the final piece. In his latest collection, “Voice of Colors,” the butterflies evolve into symbols of dreams and hope from children around the world. Each butterfly carries the imagination and purity of youth — a reflection of a generation that speaks truth and envisions a brighter future. The works are an invitation to listen, to remember, and to nurture the dreams that shape tomorrow. Every piece bears this message on its back — a quiet reminder that art, like a child’s voice, has the power to inspire change through beauty and belief.
