David Rappeneau

David Rappeneau has virtually no Internet footprint. I am not 100% sure if he is British, but after inspecting each piece of his work. He gives clues away such as illustrating brutalised environments that could be part of a London setting.
The characters he illustrates are typical of 90's British youth, clad in brands such as Kappa, Adidas and Fila. All of which were associated with English subcultures at a certain time.
What I find so interesting about Davids work, is his technique and overall his depictions of life for the disenfranchised youth. Another pattern I have noticed in Davids work, is how powerful he makes the female form. He illustrates them with super human stature and rippling muscles. I find this very interesting as women are often depicted as soft and unassuming in art. David has completely thrown this typical idea of how women are portrayed, and has created female warriors.
I think he is French
