What characterizes him is the uniqueness of his style, a characteristic that we understand more when we learn that Tanc grew up with graffiti. He considers that street art is ephemeral and that the action is more important than the result. For him "artist is a way of life", the investment must be total and the integrity absolute. In the early 2000s, he focuses on studio work and immediately distinguishes himself from traditional graffiti artists by his work based on the line. A research on the synthesis. First his name, then tags in general, then people, music, and finally his favorite subject: life.essentially based on the line, his work does not seek to be perfect but rather spontaneous. It is the state he is in that will define his density and rigor. His heartbeat drives his arm like a metronome, he must not try to control this flow but just to understand the composition that he makes appear in balance between his conscious and his unconscious. He composes his music and his paintings in a spontaneous way, he is dense or light, rigorous or destructured, Tanc does not play, he lives his art. He signs his paintings Tanc as he signs the walls of his tags since adolescence. This discipline is at first the instinctive outlet of a need for expression: he reappropriates the urban space by shouting his name to the city with force. Soon, the letters disappear and Tanc engages in an abstract formal research. By concentrating his work on the line and the color, he renews the classical pictorial research by confronting it with the first vivacity of the art of the street: preponderance of the action, perfection of the gesture, acceptance of the randomness and expression of a strong singularity. Above all, his works strike by their intensity, their musicality and the vibration of lights and materials. The action, the energy and the emotion of the artist touch the spectator in the most sensual, intimate and immediate way.
