He grew up in Guadeloupe, where he was first exposed to urban culture and subsequently to the visual arts. He went on to study visual arts in Strasbourg, where his work, then more focused on video, was shaped by his extensive involvement in theatre. He obtained the agrégation in 2012, the same year his work began appearing in the streets of Paris and beyond. From 2013 onwards, he began exhibiting in galleries and taking part in international events.

Levalet’s work is primarily concerned with drawing and installation. He places ink drawings of characters in public spaces, creating visual and semantic dialogues with their surroundings. His characters interact with the architecture, unfolding in situations that often verge on the absurd.

Although the streets of Paris remain his preferred space for artistic expression, Levalet is an internationally recognised artist whose work has also been exhibited in Italy, Germany, Spain, England, Norway, the United States, Denmark, Austria, South Korea, Canada and Belgium.
