Roch Tastet est un artiste originaire d'Hossegor, qui a grandi au cœur de la forêt landaise, au bord du lac. Après avoir obtenu une licence en biologie des organismes et des écosystèmes aquatiques, il a choisi de se tourner vers sa passion première : l'art. Il a ainsi étudié pendant plusieurs années à l'ECV Bordeaux, où il a obtenu un master en cinéma d'animation 2D/3D.
Ses influences artistiques sont multiples et variées : il est fortement influencé par les comics d'horreur et de science-fiction des années 50 et 70, notamment ceux de chez EC Comics et les Creepy. Il puise également dans la culture punk en général, dont il apprécie l'énergie créative, le DIY, le fanzine et le refus du conventionnel. Charles Burns, artiste associé à la culture punk, fait également partie de ses influences majeures.
En tant qu'illustrateur et chanteur, Roch propose une vision personnelle empreinte de son amour pour les Landes et de sa fascination pour les pins. À travers son exposition "Sous les pins tranquilles", il offre une vision écorchée mais contemplative de cette nature qui l'entoure depuis toujours. Un regard qui nous ramène à quelque chose de stable et de familier, mais qui pose également des questions sur le rapport de force entre l'homme et la nature, la mort et la vie.
