Mehdi Cibille is an artist born in 1976 in the Parisian region of Sartrouville, currently living and working in Aix-en-Provence. Since the early 2000s, he has been exploring the visual and graphic elasticity of a form composed of four spheres connected by small joints. This form, called the Zeer Module, is traced in black with a thick line that delimits and contains. Mehdi Cibille questions the plastic permanence and constant evolution of a logo that has become logos, putting this form to the test in different spaces, mediums, and scales. Recently, Mehdi Cibille has been invited to transpose his urban interventions into galleries, creating correspondences between two seemingly opposing approaches. His work in galleries sometimes complements his work in the streets. Mehdi Cibille's inspirations come from comic books (Métal Hurlant, Mœbius, Druillet), the Punk and New Wave culture of the 1980s and 1990s, as well as his childhood and youth marked by a vibrant musical universe, from which he retains the eloquence of visual productions such as vinyl covers, posters, and concert flyers. Mehdi Cibille thus becomes the "craftsman" of the Zeer Module and invests urban spaces, particularly walls, parks, abandoned buildings, and industrial wastelands. His art, which falls under Street Art, is also a social and political act. Each intervention allows him to push the limits of the Zeer Module. The motif transforms according to the variations imposed by the artist. Through his interventions, Mehdi Cibille highlights the flaws, paradoxes, and contradictions of public space, inviting people to take their place in the collective and in what constitutes society.
