EDGAR PLANS — Childhood as Silent Resistance

"We don't draw to make things pretty. We draw so we don't forget."

A Style Between Graffiti, Memory and Raw Poetry

EDGAR PLANS doesn't seek to seduce. He traces, overlays, crosses out, scribbles. He uses charcoal, acrylic, ink, pastel, text, all laid on paper, cardboard or canvas as if on an old wall. His work maintains a narrative freshness close to children's drawings that can easily be affiliated with the "childlike" and subversive world of French artist DRAN.

His "heroes" — small masked, helmeted, disguised animals — embody real struggles: social injustices, gender violence, climate disruption, digital loneliness. Beneath their apparent tenderness, they brandish strong symbols.

Exclusive New Series - July 2025

In July 2025, EDGAR PLANS unveils an exclusive new series of two screenprints in collaboration with the renowned auction house Phillips, "Dropshop" department and VILLAZAN gallery.

These two works function like pages torn from an intimate notebook. We read handwritten notes, rituals, fragments of thoughts. Spontaneity is sacred there. The characters emerge like messengers from a collective unconscious — between children's games and adult reflections.

A Lightning Rise, a Boiling Market

Since 2020, the name EDGAR PLANS has been circulating insistently in contemporary market circles. He seduces Asian collectors, fans of a style that is colorful, pop and engaged.
