Fernand Kayser
Fernand Kayser is a well-established French artist, celebrated for his bold layered compositions and intuitive visual language. His paintings channel the raw energy of punk culture through a compulsive and instinctive process, balancing between chaos and control. Color, texture and symbolism merge into dense vibrant surfaces, where every object or gesture carries narrative weight.
His visual world is expressive and immersive. Repetition, rhythm and accumulation shape his style. Totems, animals and dreamlike figures appear and dissolve within fluid surfaces where foreground and background merge. Each work invites viewers to slow down, explore and uncover hidden stories.
Originally rooted in spray paint, Kayser gradually transitioned to brush painting, which allowed him to develop a more intricate and emotionally charged approach. Drawing has always been central to his practice. His process unfolds like automatic writing, fast, uninhibited and rhythmic, building a visual language that feels both deeply personal and universal.
He is a founding member of Le Schlager, a respected artist collective based in a former industrial site in Mulhouse. Together with fellow artists Yrak and Sven, he transformed the site into a thriving studio environment. It has become a place of creation, exchange and collective energy, where painting extends beyond the canvas onto walls, tiles, metal, wood and other unconventional surfaces.
Collectors, curators and institutions are increasingly drawn to his work, recognizing the strength of his visual identity and the authenticity of his practice. Through his evolving solo projects and the collective force of Le Schlager, Kayser continues to build a strong and distinctive presence in the contemporary art world.
In 2025 he created a monumental public mural on rue de Bâle in Mulhouse, a landmark work paying tribute to his hometown and celebrating its cultural vitality. He is also actively represented by respected art establishments, affirming his place as a significant voice in today’s contemporary painting scene.
