(Born in 1979, Paris, France. Lives and works in Paris, and locations worldwide.)

Alexis Peskine’s signature works are large-scale mixed media ‘portraits’ of the African diaspora, which are thematically linked to the ‘Black Experience’. He creates these masterful pieces by hammering nails into wood, stained with coffee and mud, before applying gold leaf to the nails to birth magnificent images. He produces artwork that portrays the strength and perseverance of his subjects, while often paying tribute to the people who have taken the dangerous journey from North Africa to Europe in recent years. He also produces impressive photography and video work.
