Avignon is known for the fact that he often sells or even gives away his numerous paintings, which he produces at high speed, at very low prices. His art has therefore been labelled cheap art. He himself told me in a conversation in preparation for the workshop at the Akademie für Malerei Berlin in 2013 that he is not so interested in the normal art market with its players and that he deliberately places himself outside of these structures with his prices and his actions because he wants to reach people and not the art market. He therefore prefers to market himself and describes himself as the "fastest painter in the world". He began his official career as a painter in the early 1990s with decorations and stage sets for rave events. The central motif in his art is speed, the expression of the "attitude to life of the techno generation" and "the failure of the individual" in a constantly accelerating world. In his foreword to Avignon's illustrated book TV made me do it, Günter Reznicek points out that there is hardly a club in Berlin where Avignon has not already exhibited. Despite the pop culture-inspired realisation, Avignon's pictures often refer critically to contemporary problems such as bribery and corruption or the lack of real communication in the so-called information society.
