Then they shall write in the shade
Adrien Robert [sAne.]
Adrien's creativity stems from an innate love for traveling, an obsessive curiosity, and a "drive to attain fluency in communicating my fascinations," says the Boulder based artist. Formally he's spent the most time training in martial arts and gymnastics, though he's been drawing for as long as he can remember. He became truly passionate when he discovered Hip Hop as a creative force. "I found a rhythm to live by, and a whole community of people that supported creative expression that was at once visual, auditory, and kinesthetic," Adrien says. "To me it was more than a specific beat structure and its traditional four 'elements' that attracted me; there was something about it that united people from all walks of life." He was painting walls with all of his free time before he knew it, and found the same message of community through dedicated study, training, and performance when he started climbing. Speaking about developing as an artist, he says, "All these activities have since culminated into my ongoing multidisciplinary study that I call Freestyle Movement."
