Alexis Robiou ( born 1974 in Vannes , France) Alexis started to experiment with photography at the age of 14 in his own dark room located in his parents attic.At the same time , he co founded a musical indie pop xeroxed fanzine in brittany called Tea Time ... He quickly moved onto stencil graffiti .He held his first show in 1993 , aged 18 at the Merced arts center , California , USA .He then moved to London where he met his partner and collaborator Benedicte Andersen, where they both graduated from the Camberwell college of arts , London institute in 2000.In the mean time , he was part of several bands , electrocreme , the kick diggers and Monsieur Bricolage ,to name just a few ... They moved to Paris ,where they were awarded a workshop/ gallery as a grand prix de la création de la ville de Paris. This would be the first of their three artist run galleries . The second one , located in the heart of the marais district allowed them to directly sell their paintings to customers from all over the world ,traveling without moving , delivering their paintings themselves to their new owner´s homes with a bottle of champagne whenever possible .Producing in the morning and selling in the afternoon while the work was barely dry ...Their work is part of over 400 private collections .In march 2010 they moved to Copenhagen where they opened their third independent space : la galerie Francaise .His latest exhibition is his first solo show in Denmark in association with reknowned Gallery Poulsen , even though Alexis could be spotted Karaoké singing in the streets of Copenhagen during last summer´s distortion festival, hosting the Copenhagen fashion week or acting as a very improbable Copenhagen tour guide ...Alexis is also a born performer , musician and writer ...He just started a new interior design company : Family Jewels ...His work has been exhibited in New York , Tokyo, Paris , London , Munich , Barcelona , Dublin ... Alexis was born a perfectly fit baby who was about to stop the wheel of karma ... Obviously , no one knew about it back then , but somehow , in retrospective , it all started to make an awful lot of sense... At the age of five , he started to fiddle with quantum mechanics , soon to move on to super string theory...when he turned eight , his uncle gave him a photographic dark room from which he would not emerge until he turned into a fully formed human being... That is when the trouble started ...
