BYC
Być*, a Swiss artist born in Lausanne (Switzerland) in 1982, did not choose this pseudonym at random: in Poland, his grandfather’s homeland, this word means "to be" or "to search". In his early childhood, he drew and painted everything, all the time, asked for paper after paper, again and again... Back then, we could have believed this to be a fleeting whim, but it was nothing of the sort.
For Być, there is a kind of complicit association between the used object, whose poetry he perceives from the previous use, and what it inspires him. Thus is defined his vision of contemporary art and Street Art, which goes from the street to the greatest museums, which challenges codes, challenges the world, sometimes mocks, often denounces, or admires.
For Być, to provoke is to create thoughts, to mix and connect people, times, styles and perceptions.
