Say Bonjour to self-taught French artist Frederic Truteau. Frederic has etched a style of his own into his works. He swears by the use of acrylic because of its ability to adapt to the dictations of his emotions. Frederic's works are mainly influenced by popular culture icons - just like the Converse Chuck Taylors. A love of travelling and a search for open space have also featured in many of Frederic's works. Frederic will be exhibiting at 19 Karen in February 2012 and will continue to focus on exhibiting in his home town of Marseille, France.
