Megamatt : biography

Megamatt is a French urban artist whose work has, over the years, been strongly articulated around a cult video game figure: Conrad B. Hart, hero of the game Flashback: The Quest for Identity (1992). Fascinated by the game's rotoscopic animation and futuristic aesthetic, Megamatt has made it an almost exclusive field of artistic exploration, multiplying the character's representations in an infinite number of poses and formats.

While his early work may have explored other visual universes, it is this graphic obsession with Flashback that has come to define his style: an assumed, almost methodical repetition of the same protagonist, always in motion. Collages, murals, and screen-printed editions, his works replay Conrad's movements through an urban, pixelated Paris frame by frame.

By focusing on a single character, Megamatt blurs the lines between homage, conceptual art, and street art, and constructs a unique body of work, somewhere between video game nostalgia and visual minimalism.
