Zabou was born in France but currently lives and works in London. The street artist paints large-scale realistic murals world-wide, from Europe and Asia to South America. She also creates original works in the studio and limited edition prints. Zabou has featured in exhibitions at the Saatchi Gallery since 2016.
Working mostly with spray paint and acrylics, she creates striking black and white portraits with colourful touches. Her practice relies on the photographs she takes of her subjects, focusing on their expressions and emotions. Her artworks, both in the street and the studio, explore the everyday life as well as contemporary topics, and ultimately what connects us all as humans.
In March 2022 Saatchi gallery presented ‘In Their Eyes’, a solo exhibition in our Gallery 15 space that showcased new original works by Zabou. The exhibition featured a newly commissioned mural work, images of murals executed in recent years and preparatory photographs from the artist’s private collection.
