FLASHE, MULTI-SUPPORTS

Découvrez la vibrante fresque de Tommy Knuts

REVOLUTIONARY PAINTING

 

Made in France, in Le Mans, Flashe is a multi-substrate vinyl paint created in 1954 for theatre sets. What could be more natural than to find it on the ceiling of an emotionally-charged performance venue?
Transformed by Mon Concept Habitation and renamed "Aux Artistes", this bar-restaurant called on Lille-based artist Tommy Knuts to bring his colourful, abstract world to life. An illustration of the ties that bind us together, and the elements that mark his life! A 27m² work of art created at Flashe.

FLASHE, THE EXTRA-FINE MULTI-SUPPORTS PAINT

Flashe combines the mattness and opacity of gouache with the indelibility and durability of acrylic on all surfaces. Its velvety, extra-fine texture, highly concentrated in pigments selected for their resistance to light, supple, fluid and full-coverage, is composed of a vinyl resin emulsion binder that can be diluted and cleaned with water. Made in Le Mans, France, Flashe extra-fine vinyl paint is available in 76 colours, including 38 single-pigment shades that are perfectly compatible with the other ranges.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE FRESCO

Flashe accompanied artist Tommy Knuts as he created his first fresco on a ceiling. An incredible project, 6 days perched and twisted at the top of his scaffolding, 27m² to draw and then paint. An experience as intense as the pigments that make up Flashe paint.

SKATEBOARDING AS A MEDIUM

Flashy, covering, opaque and multi-support, it can be used on any surface! Metal, ceramic, plastic, foam, polystyrene, textile, fabric, wood... and skateboards! Since 2015, Tommy has been a graphic designer at Décathlon, a clever way of combining his two passions. He uses skateboarding as a blank canvas to create a world of encounters, stories and colours.
