It
now makes several years that Vanessa alias Miss Van, graduate
in Arts Plastic, painted to the brush her dolls, pulpy challenging minxes
on the walls of Toulouse.
She started in 1993 to embellish the streets of the pink city
with Katthat is now part of the crew of the Hanky Panky Girls. |

Miss Van
made of her doll an emblematic silhouette of the city. Thanks
to her, one can see on all walls of Toulouse of the defiant curves
in declensions of colors.
Little by little she exploits all supports, the dolls meeting thus
on canvases and in numerous private collections, or on clothes since
the creation of her ready-to-wear line.

The crew of the Hanky Panky
Girls under the signatures of Fafi, Kat and Plum,
a trio of graffitist from Toulouse, is one of the rare feminine groups
of wall painting.
Original of Toulouse, they are recognized to create" an oniric
walk" for their fellow citizens, not only regaining of their
paintings the walls of the city but as roofs, traffic circle, barges,
trains etc.
Found
in 1998, the HPG don't linger to impose themselves facing the
other crews and collaborate notably with several graffitits such Noah
and 2PON, Tilt or the M.A.C.
They paint with styles of graphics and different tools (brush and
acrylic painting for Kat and Fafi; bomb spray for Plume) and are inspired
of various models, but all express to their way, their femininity
: pulpy shapes of the characters, harmonious tracing of the letters,
game of the colors...
