Ceet Fouad [pronounced: “see-TEE”] (born 1971) is a French-Moroccan graffiti artist.

Biography

Ceet Fouad was born in Algeria in 1971, of Moroccan descent, and moved to Toulouse, France, in 1978 at the age of seven years old.[citation needed] Since 2003, Fouad has been based in Shenzhen, north of Hong Kong.

In 2019 he completed a 40m tall mural on a building in Toulouse, France.

Ceet’s love for art would start in 2003 while drawing his visual images as a way to communicate, but later made his connection deeper with his artwork, the chickens, or the “Chicanos” he calls them. They are small, bubbly, and vibrant figures of chickens and Ceet uses them to connect to the idea of "regular everyday people" are the same.

Exhibitions

He has been a regular artist-in-residence at the Montresso Foundation's art estate in Marrakesh, the "Jardin Rouge", since 2014.
