An excerpt from Thinkspace’s statement on Instagram: “Rest easier now my friend. Our hearts go out to your children and family. You were one of the most humble and talented people I’ve ever met. I wish you realized how many people the world over loved you. We will miss you.”

At the top of the page is his most recent shared mural, created in Grenoble. Below, we have examples of the brilliant painter’s work, on both public structures and gallery walls. He was featured on our site several times, most recently here.
