Guillaume Grando had it all figured out early. At seventeen he founded the HV Collective to explore calligraphy, graphic design, and hip-hop, passions still visible in his work. He then built an independent career under the name SupaKitch, splitting time between canvas and increasingly ambitious wood and resin sculptures across New York, Paris, and beyond.

“The environment is actually the main inspiration for my artwork.”

Then Biarritz rearranged things. He came for the surf, not the art scene, and the ocean got him before the town did. He's since described himself as more researcher than artist, someone who'd rather provoke chance and figure out what happened afterwards, the same way you don't control a wave so much as negotiate with it.
