## About Jef Aerosol

Jef Aerosol is the public name of Jean-François Perroy, a French artist born in Nantes in 1957. Usually styled Jef Aérosol in biographical sources, he is associated with stencil graffiti, the pochoir movement, and the first wave of French street art. Public summaries date his urban-art practice to 1982 and place him among the French artists who established stencil work as a visible part of the early street-art landscape. Collectors may therefore encounter his name in catalogues under both accented and unaccented spellings, as well as in references to Jean-François Perroy. The supplied Appraisily directory input associates the artist with 198 auction records, suggesting repeated appearances in the secondary-market record. The present source pack, however, is stronger on identity than on individual works: it establishes the artist’s public name, nationality, birth information, and stencil-art context but does not provide a detailed chronology, catalogue of works, or lot-level market history.

## Common works and media

The collected public sources characterize Jef Aerosol primarily as a stencil graffiti and street artist associated with the French pochoir tradition. Stencil-based urban-art works are therefore the best-supported general category for this page. The source pack does not establish how frequently paintings, drawings, prints, editions, posters, sculptures, or other formats appear at auction, so those categories should not be presented as common without reviewing the underlying lot records.

## Market and appraisal context

The available evidence supports careful identity matching but not a price prediction. Auction records may use Jef Aerosol, Jef Aérosol, or the artist’s name, Jean-François Perroy, so an appraisal should reconcile those forms before selecting comparisons. The supplied directory input indicates 198 associated records, but the collected source pack contains no individual sale dates, realized prices, dimensions, condition reports, provenance, or edition details. Those omissions prevent a reliable statement about price levels, trends, scarcity, or which work types command stronger results. When complete auction records are available, Appraisily can evaluate a submitted work against genuinely comparable lots while keeping biographical identification separate from attribution and valuation conclusions.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. For Jef Aerosol, the present source pack supports the core identity and stencil-art context, while detailed market conclusions remain dependent on lot-level evidence.
