The show incorporates both traditional graffiti art and sculpture, with some items on display coming from Vince’s travels to India.
The artist cited growing up in the 1990s surrounded by “a big culture” of graffiti in his hometown of Brest, France, as his earliest inspiration.
He also stressed the importance of “opening yourself to other art forms” and expressed an interest in continuing to work with galleries and exhibitions.

Vince said that graffiti and street art is “a lot more understood now” compared to when he first came to the island in 2002, but added that he hopes Jersey will have “more walls where we can paint legally” in the future.
The artist said it took “a lot of practice” to get to where he is now – both in regard to the artwork itself and having the confidence to collaborate with galleries.
