      “La Rivière Golden” by Hopare in Paris, France

      by

La Rivière Golden emerged as the final choice, symbolizing the fluidity of the neighborhood’s history and the golden threads that tie its people together.Hopare didn’t stop at simply listening to the community—he invited them to participate directly in the creation of the mural. Several local figures, including athletes and community leaders, were portrayed on the wall, making this artwork a deeply personal homage to the people of Argenteuil. The mural took thirteen days to complete, overcoming challenges like weather and technical difficulties, but throughout the process, the support and presence of the community were palpable.Hopare’s mural stands as a testament to the power of collaborative art. His unique geometric style, characterized by vibrant straight lines and emotional intensity, infuses the mural with energy and life. More than just a painting, this project embodies the spirit of collective creation, connecting Hopare’s artistic vision with the shared history and identity of Argenteuil’s residents. It’s not just his mural—it belongs to everyone.Scroll down below for more photos of Hopare’s recent work. More

      André Saraiva X Art of Ping Pong Collaboration

      by

      The Art of Ping Pong is excited to announce their collaboration with acclaimed graphic artist André Saraiva.Graffiti was the first way in which artist André Saraiva made his mark on the world. André was the first graffiti artist to paint a character in place of the traditional tag name, he quickly became known as Paris’ most active street artist.For this project, André embraced Art of Ping Pong’s ethos of blending contemporary art with play. His subversive characters dance across collectable ping pong bats and balls, replete with a signature pink ArtNet, designed to decorate your wall whilst being ever-ready to transform any table into an instant ping pong playground.At the same time, the limited edition ArtTable plays double duty—an iconic André design that acts both as art and a wall-mountable ping pong table. Crafted in black and pink, the ArtTables are a limited numbered, signed, and authenticated edition—hand-finished in the Art of Ping Pong’s London studio.The limited edition ArtTable – numbered, signed, and authenticated – featuring a pink design by André, is not just a ping pong table but a truly unique, wallmountable artwork that transforms into a ping pong table within seconds.Q: André, the current appetite for art collectables is no secret; you’ve been at the forefront of this for some time now. They are truly sought-after pieces and a great way for collectors to access an artist’s work.Not only are Art of Ping Pong’s pieces great collectables, but their desire is for these pieces to encourage a connection with others through play. Right now, it seems, the world desperately needs more moments of joy and connection. So, AoPP’s pieces have a heightened relevance.You’ve previously taken your own art into your hotels and clubs. Places that also draw people together and foster connection. But, as an artist, how do you feel about this collaboration going one step further and being used for play as well as art?— Algy Batten, AoPP co-founderA: For me, art and playing come together. Bringing people together in spaces has always been part of my art and my different projects. I consider the hotels and clubs as art pieces, the same as a subway, trains or walls; all of them are surfaces to spread Mr.A travelling around. It’s part of my graffiti philosophy; a train, a t-shirt, or ping pong balls is the concept of the idea of my art across the globe.— André Saraiva About André SaraivaAndré and his signature character have both appeared in many global brand collaborations and campaigns for over 30 years. André’s work has been shown in museums and contemporary art galleries around the world.He sees every one of his many ventures as part of the same irreverent lifelong art piece. One that he always approaches with a wink – just like his iconic graffitied alter – ego, Mr. A.About Art of Ping PongArt of Ping Pong has a simple mission to make art more playful; fusing art with functional design, they create vibrant art objects to populate our living spaces. Their pieces also have a real-life purpose to encourage connection with others through conversation and play.
