Pigeon is a working-class artist who primarily deals with the problem of feeling at home in ones environment, or… massively failing to do so! Pigeon is interested in places that are suffering from identity crisis and aims to create community through narratives. Pigeon grew up in a gang-ridden suburb of Paris; has lived in a squat in Loísaida, NYC; lived in New Orleans and now resides in Bangor, Maine where he works as a carpenter. He is also an inspirational speaker and activist, a writer and writes and produces songs under the name of Nelo Pidgin.

Pigeon’s primary mediums are charcoal and pen on paper.

Pigeon thinks art should be as fun and intense as playing rock n’roll. Pigeon has had his work punched at, tagged over, a knife pointed at his chest while pasting his art but he has also made a gallery patron cry with his work and received numerous hugs by strangers while working out on the street or throwing parties at his studio. He thinks these are all legitimate reactions to have to art.

Pigeon’s work can be seen on the streets of Harlem, NY and Bangor, ME, at his studio, at pigeonnation.net or on Pigeon Gear, worn everywhere from Santa Fe to Addis Ababa.
