Louis Lambert aka 3ttman (yes he is!) is a french artist taking advantage of crrrrrazy spanish way of life in Madrid. At the moment he is dedicating to painting, ilustrating, Tshirts printing and shaking madrid's streets as the "agitador de medio ambiente". A bit like Zoro without the mask and the black suit, he signs urban material to make people everydaylife less boring by interacting on their environment trying to make them smile or even cry sometimes (if they are really sensitive).
During his "career" he's been developing a style that he qualificates as "PopTrash", blending paintings and mixed medias, salvaging and reinstating magazines pictures, icons, photographs... to give to that hubbub of messages a common sens, usually loaded of a powerfull sociocultural content. 3ttman is the caracter he's created that expresses best he's feelings. He represents human being in his whole... with the three states of mind you can find in any situation, one head can be evil, the other doesn't give a damn, and the third is the good one, ex: "one head drinks the other gets drunk and the third one pukes". The aim is not to criticize anybody nor anything but just to stage human (stupid)behaviour, he often uses an ironic or even humouristic style not to fall in fatalism.
After 3 years in Eyestorm, a famous communication agency in Madrid, Louis is actually working on the 102%'s project with is good mate Martin. Apart from doing tshirts printing, the purpose of 102% is to paint whatever they can and have fun expressing themselves on everykind of support.
