Jace Profile | Artists Profiles

Welcome to the Little Scratch Online Art Gallery

Who we are:
This gallery offers you the opportunity to both view and buy the work from a palette of respected international artists whose roots are based in the graffiti art form. Over the years each artist, or group of artists, has progressed in their own unique direction creating art which goes beyond stereotyped labels of street art or urban art. No longer content to just express their views on walls, they now express their feelings and experiences through a diversity of mediums including paints, pens, photography, videos, sculptures, and even lightwriting. Such is the quality of their work many have shown their pieces in galleries all around the world.

What we do:
We support the artists at Little Scratch by promoting them, creating shows and selling their work. Indeed, some of the work we sell is exclusive to Little Scratch. Artwork available includes silkscreen prints , giclee fine art prints (including photography) and one-off art pieces and sculptures . Books and vinyl toys can also be purchased from time to time. In addition to selling work on behalf of the artist, we also sell selected pieces from individual private collections. Not all art work is shown on line, so please contact us if you would like to see additional pieces.

Little Scratch hopes you enjoy the work displayed at this online gallery. Actual gallery shows will also be set up across Europe and dates will be made available via this website so keep your eyes peeled. You may also wish to subscribe to the monthly news letter. Finally, Little Scratch welcomes any thoughts or feedback, and can be contacted via the Online Assistant or by email .

JACE

JACE lives on Reunion Island, a small French island located in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar; he moved there in 1982 aged just 9 years old. Jace was initially inspired by the New York style graffiti from the book “Subway Art”, and he began his street stuff in 1989. Developing his own style over the next few years, Jace created his famous character “Gouzou” in 1992. Although Jace continues to paint traditional murals, his real talent lies in interacting with his environment in a very humorous way using his small character. Indeed, Gouzou can be found on bill boards where Jace has taken advantage of the picture and used him to ridicule the original advert.

There are currently 4 books detailing Jace’s paintings and street installations, the first of which was printed in 1999. Since then Gouzou has become a real icon of Reunion Island where he is recognised by everyone. Jace also has hundreds of fans who often go “hunting” with their camera to catch each and every one of Jace’s practical jokes. However Jace’s talents are not limited to just Reunion Island as Gouzous can also be found in London, Rome, Prague, Pairs, Le Havre (France), Mayotte Island, Bali (Indonesia), Madagascar Island, Mauritius Island, New York, Budapest, Tokyo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Lisbon, Barcelona, Macao, and many more places.

However, Gouzou can sometimes be rather mischievous and disobedient and his father Jace needs to be very strict, and at times he will enclose Gozou in a gallery for several weeks. But Gouzou will quickly finds his way back to freedom. But perhaps the irrepressible nature of Gouzou really just symbolises Jace’s own sense of adventure; “nothing can stop me; neither the fines, nor the jail, nor the mountain or the seas, nor the future of street art when the fashion ends...” So the spirit of Gouzou lives on.
