Turbulent youth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The French artist ISHEM (born 1986), who lives in Marseille, started to be interested in style writing at the age of 12. He grew up in Aix-en-Provence, where some style writers were already active. At that time, the 132 crew and the C4 crew in the south of France was very influential, especially the writers ARONE ACUZ LAWET TRANE as well as the writer LIME, SEK & the NAV crew inspired ISHEM at that time. ISHEM painted INDE and PESTE back then and was a member of the crew BCP (Bande de Chacals Puants) with SONE, ARABIE, KISE (VADOR), SOWI among others (\u2026). He painted mainly at halls of fame in the city like Wild Style pieces as PESTE and for INDE rather block letters and throw ups. His younger sister PEKIN often went along to paint with his crew at the time. In 2000, he moved to the island of Guadeloupe, the French overseas department in the southern Caribbean Sea, where he represented the crew DTR (Double Tranchant) in the environment of the local hip hop scene of rappers, dancers and writers like BADGE. He expanded the BCP crew with new connections in graffiti: RONE & EMIR2. Even then, ISHEM was a basketball player, a passion that still drives him today. He shuttled between France and the Antilles in the summer and moved back to Aix-en-Provence in 2005 after graduating from high school. Moving back to Guadeloupe for a year, he finally moved to Nantes to integrate the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Nantes for three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
