Background

Prisu was born in Aldeia da Dona, Portugal, on November 15, 1962. In 1963 his family moved to France where he was raised.

Education

Kim Prisu received his education in Paris. He became interested in making art at the age of 12, being inspired by comic strips. Prisu started hanging out in Paris in 1977. He was initially admired by rock and other urban music but had no intention to make his own music. So, he started promoting friends' groups, making hand-made posters and stencilling groups' names. In 1979 his drawing instructor invited Kim Prisu to exhibit his works. That was his first group show.

Career

In 1979 Prisu founded the group "Explorateurs du gris" in collaboration with Joaquim Pereira. In 1980 he pioneered the concept of Nuklé-Art, which was a global interdisciplinary art for the children of the Nuclear Age. In 1984 he co-founded the group with the same name together with Kriki (Christian Vallée) and Paul Etherno. Nuklé-Art was presented at the gallery Patras and the Galerie Photo graffitisa and took part in the first Binoche sale. The group was dissolved in mid-1987.

In 1990 Kim Prisu painted on 9 of the 1,300 meters on the Berlin Wall, which remained and made up the East Side Gallery. He painted there one more time in 2009 during the 20th anniversary of the fall of the wall. In the 1990s Prisu's artworks were exhibited at Paris galleries including Anne Rouff, Christophe, and the galerie sanguine. In the year 1996 he moved back to Portugal.

Nowadays Prisu works in different techniques, creating art sculptures made from materials of recycling, illustration books, posters, digital and video art, graffiti, theatre poetry. He is a corresponding academic of FEBACLA in Brazil.
