Born in 1975.
He lives and works in Toulouse (France).

A child of street culture, Cédric Lascours, aka RESO, grew up in Toulouse. He was not introduced directly to painting. In the Pink City of the 90’s, the skateboard lover and self-taught artist started hanging out in places like the Mini Racing or the Tobacco Manufacture only to end up stumbling across graffiti. Eventually he interconnected these two subversive disciplines. He joined several crews such as USA, 219, VMD… He is still currently very active within the LCF collective.

Obsessed with lettering, the artist built a universe of signs through repetitive rhythms, like magical incantations. His style may seem esoteric, producing an alchemy of opened curves and circles, characteristic of his creation.  At first sight RESO’s work is deceptively akin to primitivism with elementary shapes and colors, but gesture drives his compositions.
