About
Thomas aka Zeso is an artist who originates from the agglomerate of Lyon. Budding from the graffiti scene, Zeso has evolved and grown in this practice for over 25 years. He left France to go live in New York City, where he stayed for ten years. During that period he got the opportunity to participate in numerous projects, public and private alike. This experience allowed Zeso to perfect his style while bringing heightened attention to the composition and detail that his work required. Currently, Zeso approaches his work in two different manners: with the creation of canvases within a studio and with the conception/execution of murals.
