Originally from Rouen, Mathieu Questel was marked as a teenager by the Americanization of society during the 1980s and 1990s, which deeply influenced his artistic environment. American street culture is still transcribed through his work, and testifies to his real cultural attachment to this period. The artist pays a special tribute to this decade of the golden age of skateboarding in California, that he depicts on his canvases to always remember.
