Monkey Bird Crew consist of the French duo Louis Boidron and Edouard Egéa. Their timeless murals are inspired by mythology and alchemy. The meaning of their name is closely connected with the symbolic monkeys and birds, a recurrent theme in their works.

The artistic duo is based in Paris and creates large-scale murals all over the world, depicting black-and-white contours of mythical animals with golden accents.
