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, Bali (Indonesia), Madagascar Island, New York, Budapest, Tokyo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Barcelona and many more places.
