After an apprenticeship as a lettering and advertising painter in Lucerne, he traveled and worked in Europe, the USA, Mexico, Argentina, Thailand and Cuba. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"427\" data-end=\"739\">From 1996, Breu, as POSE ONE, shaped the graffiti scene with striking works \u2013 including on trains in New York, airplanes of the Pilatus-Werke and for the start of the Pink Floyd European tour in 2007. Over time, he developed his own spray and painting technique, in which figures alternate between world pain and lightness.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"741\" data-end=\"1075\">Breu experiments with materials from PVC to lace, combining street art with pop aesthetics and folklore. His works are often created live, with quick lines and spontaneous expression. Since 2010 he has also worked as a lecturer and curator, including for \u201cCulture Makes School\u201d and the Singisenforum. Today he lives and works in Wohlen AG.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8220;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; background_color=&#8220;#515151&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8220;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; animation_style=&#8220;slide&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_column type=&#8220;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][et_pb_heading title=&#8220;Artistic Activity&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; title_text_color=&#8220;#8C8C8C&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220;][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_toggle title=&#8220;Group Exhibitions&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;a3feb49e-b304-44c3-b2ed-c92020b5859a&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220; hover_enabled=&#8220;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8220;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>2018 K-13 Art Scene Freiamt, AG CH<br \/>Livingsculpture Gallery Zurich, CH<br \/>Open Art Roveredo, GR CH<br \/>Macelleria d\u2019Arte Gallery, SG CH<br \/>2017 Ref.
