Katia Morgand has been painting since childhood. She met Action in 2014, and since then she has been learning how to use a spray can and moving towards graphic research focused on illustration. She's particularly fond of detail, and her work is very meticulous. With a penchant for the beauty of the world, it's her travels that inspire her and allow her to express herself fully. ACTION est tombée dans les lettres il y a 20 ans. Il explore tous les moyens possibles de créer, la lumière, le bois, le modelage, la peinture, à la bombe, au rouleau. Ces dernières années il s’est concentré sur la géométrie et les mathématiques. Il décline ses réflexes de lettreurs dans des compositions plus minimalistes où chaque trait est choyé, dans la rigueur et la propreté. Dans le duo KAT&ACTION, il réalise la structure des visuels dans laquelle se cachent ses 6 lettres.

THE DUO
Their shared universe is an equation of shapes and colours that combines the letter and its geometric treatment in the ACTION style with the pure, figurative lines of KAT. Their aim is to merge the two into one. Using aerosol and acrylic paints, Kat & Action use the street to give animals their rightful place in urban space. They ask the public about their responsibility in the fate of Nature.
Mesvin is one of the villages in the Montagne amalgamation that has agriculture at its heart. There are many fields and farms in the village, so it's only natural that Kat & Action should depict this animal atmosphere with brio.
