A few years ago, I saw a report on a French channel showing a successful teenage American painter who was selling his paintings at a huge price. If I remember well, his works were a mix of naive painting and collage, and he incorportad a fair amount of text in them. I think he was inspired by ghettos like Bronx, but I may be wrong. If anyone knows who I am describing, please tell me his name.

Was it a current artist? Because that sounds a lot like Jean-Michel Basquiat, but he died in 1988.
WOW! That's it! The paintings are as I remembered them. Thank you so much JLG. Strangely enough, for some reason I thought the artist was a white 14 year-old boy (and that was some 5 years ago, maybe). I must have merged two memories into one.
