In 1985, Kriki invented a character, the Fuzz, half-robot, half-polymorphous fetish. An omnipresent figure in his work, he became a veritable “label” to such an extent that the Museum of Modern Art of Paris would produce an edition. This interest in the iconic Fuzz was also relayed by the Maison Louis Vuitton which, through continued sponsorship, enabled the realization of a large-scale project on Fuzz presented at the Galerie Kamel Mennour in 2000. After numerous metamorphoses, the Fuzz and the figures that continue to appear in the artist’s paintings in the form of viruses contaminating the history of art.
The fuzz has just joined the Art For All collection now and finds its way back to the LOFT Gallery, the first gallery to have exhibited the artist within its walls and during a Solo Show at the FIAC in 1987 when he was only 23 years old and to collaborate in the production of several editions during the 1990s.
