Andre Saraiva

Chances are that while you've been strolling through the streets of Paris, London, New York, Los Angeles, you may have caught a glimpse of Saraiva's eye-popping signature graffiti as Mr. A on a random street wall: top hat on a circular head, gangly legs, "XO" eyes. Or you may have seen him in the Banksy film, Exit Through The Gift Shop; spied him in the front rows of the Paris Fashion Week shows; paged through his L'Officiel Homme magazine; or seen him at one of his many chic nightclubs. There's no question that Saraiva is the definition of rakish cool.

André Saraiva is a never-before-seen look at the artist's many spheres: street culture, contemporary art, graphic design, photography, fashion, and nightlife. This visual journey is an interactive and striking object itself, with a vibrant pink cloth cover, André's distinctive handwriting in foil, and also includes 5 artful pop-ups he designed. It follows Saraiva's art/life trajectory, and includes his Instagram-worthy tags on the streets of Paris; countless silk-screened posters; paintings and sculpture; creative collaborations with Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Colette; and additional ephemera he's collected during his travels. André Saraiva is the story of this cultural force of nature.
