Pyromania Meets Art: Olivier Kosta-Théfaine ideo Profile with Olivier Kosta-Thefaine

Olivier-Kosta-Thefaine
Paris based artist Olivier Kosta-Théfaine attacks walls and ceilings with lighters, burning phrases and patterns into ceilings. His fervor is contagious in this video profile.





On his website it explains, “In each of his interventions, Olivier Kosta-Théfaine plays with the codes and clichés of popular culture. He uses the languages and codes of the city and its suburbs, changing or modifying their original meaning so it can be understood by a broader public.

“His reflection is essentially based in rehabilitating the, often deconsidered, elements that belong to the city. His fascination for the suburbs has switched to a passion that is essential to his everyday work. The city is his muse, the drive for his artistic inspiration.”
