Life
Due to a severe congenital hearing impairment, Bouchet hardly learned to speak and did not attend primary school, but was taught by his mother. From 1969 to 1976 he attended high school in Toulouse , where he graduated from high school in July 1976. From 1976 to 1979 he attended art schools in Toulouse, Bordeaux and Paris . In 1980 he moved to Berlin . Together with his friend Thierry Noir, he painted part of the Berlin Wall . In 1986 Bouchet was counted among the "better known artists" who painted the wall alongside hundreds of amateur artists. Bouchet installed a urinal on the wall as a tribute to Marcel Duchamp . He himself said: "I just wanted to make a little bit of a revolution with color."
Bouchet paints on different materials, the most unusual surface was painting a Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II in 1989. He lives and works in Berlin, Düsseldorf and Chenonceaux in the Loire Valley.
