      “ROGER DELIVRANT ANGELIQUE” by 100taur in Montauban, France

      by

      French artist 100taur just worked on a mural painting done in collaboration with the City of Montauban and the Ingres Museum. The mural is the 2nd part of the trilogy around the work of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres.

      For little background on the artwork, Roger delivering Angelique is a painting painted by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres in 1819, inspired by a song by the furious Roland of Ariosta. Angelique was a princess of the kingdom of Cathay, India. She was later brought by Roland to France to fall in love with him. However, she ran away and was captured by pirates who abandoned her on an island to offer her to the Orquemarine. That’s when Roger stepped in to save her, mounted on the Hippogriff.

      “I represented Roger as a vampire bat, riding the Hippogriff and waving his spear to the orca – dragon, as a sign of deadly attack. This is the part of the wall I made first. Whether it’s Roger, the hippogriff or the orca, they are represented in a way that evokes the unwavering bond that lies between human and the monstrous.” 100taur said.

      100Taur’s work is halfway between innocence and horror. He explores the concepts of difference and imperfection by creating fantastical half human and half animal creatures, evolving in a poetical universe. Each tiny details of his work is a tribute pays to the famous sentence by Francisco De Goya “The sleep of reason produces monsters”.
      He shows us frightening mythical creatures through is childish eyes and made his most terrific nightmares harmless, almost charming through his art. Behind each of his drawings, paintings, sculptures or settings, a story is waiting to be discovered. 100Taur was born in 1982 and works in Toulouse. He has been interested in nature, sacred art, Japanese culture and mythologies from all over the world.

      “Melt Fast, Die Young” by Roberto Ciredz in Rouen, France

      by

      The second edition of Rouen impressionnée Urban Art Festival which takes place in Rouen, a port city on the Seine and the capital of Normandy, is preparing to see the born of almost twenty murals until September 2020.
      Among many artists invited, we also find Cagliari based artist, Roberto Ciredz.For the occasion, he created a 10m high by 20m wide work entitled “Melt fast, die young”, a clear reference to the alarming situation about global warming.
      Roberto Cireddu, aka Ciredz, is one of the most internationally known Sardinian artist in Urban Art scene. His native land, Sardinia, with its breathtaking natural landscapes, has always been one of its main sources of inspiration combined with urban forms influenced by the cities in whom he has lived.
      The graphics and the volumes are the basis of the artist’s work, together with maths and geometries that come from urban space instead the color scheme and the forms come from nature.The intention to combine them together results from the attention to the relationship of coexistence between nature and mankind, a continuous dialogue that is visually translated into a geometric, abstract, almost illusory aesthetic.

      The mural painting realized for the Festival curated by Olivier Landes, is a wonderful abstraction that rewards inspiration, both for the shapes, the colors and a glacial landscape. The intentional chromatic choice derives from the desire to draw attention to a common problem in all which is strictly present ( global warming).

      by

      Vesod just recently finished a new mural in Piazzale Selinunte, Milan. This artwork is part of the Arte a San Siro project. Vesod’s mural features children on swings over twisting birds-eye-view urbanscapes. “Art in Sancero” is a project that includes realizing frescoes on the facade of the buildings of the region to revive it aesthetically and dynamically; open to artistic influences as well, and coming from a variety of cultures.
      Vesod Brero is a street artist from Turin. His artistic attitude has been fostered by his father Dovilio Brero, surrealistic painter, whose influence has an impact on Vesod since his youth: he has been therefore developing an interest in the graffiti world since the beginning of the 90s. Maths, which is the subject he got his graduation in, has an important impact on his works along with renaissance art and futurism. This can be recognized in Vesod’s attempt to harmonize anatomic proportion and futuristic dynamics.

      by

      Street artist Ludo is back with new murals on the streets of Paris. The first mural features roses with handcuffs that somehow mirrors the situation today where there is a need for social distancing. His next mural shows a skeleton posing for a selfie which is entitled “iPhone 11 iPhone 11 Pro (with Dual optical image stabilization) in my hand, who is the fairest in the land?”. Once more, these works were finished with a touch of Ludo’s signature green paint.
      Ludovic Vernhet, known by the name Ludo and sometimes even referred to as Nature’s Revenge, is an artist born and raised in Paris. In his works, Ludo fuses imagery of plants, insects, skulls, and human technology to create “a new order of hybrid organisms.” In protest of modern society’s self-destructive exploitation of nature, Ludo creates figures whose violence and elegance are intended to inspire respect and humility.
      He is based in Paris, but his work has been also seen in London, Berlin, New York, Chicago, Tokyo, Bangkok, Shanghai, Hong Kong and even in Vatican City.

      ‘Subway Art Breakthrough’ by Lek & Sowat

      by

      French graffiti artists Lek & Sowat have unveiled the second phase of their artistic intervention called ‘ Subway Art Breakthrough’ on the tunnel boring machine ‘Koumba’, building an extension to the underground tube line 14 in Paris.

      For the artistic duo the ephemeral element has always played a part in their many years of practice working in the public space. Rust, erosion, erasure, destruction mingle, complete, sublimate their paintings in situ or in their artist’s studio.
      In collaboration with NGE and Xpo Fmr their latest ‘Subway Art’ their latest ‘Subway Art’ production reflects their work.  None of the works made during production have been permanent. They carried with them the signs of their inevitable destruction. During their brief existence, they proudly displayed the traces left by men, cuts, welds, shocks, drippings… The tunnel cutting wheel was cut, damaged, re-welded; the crushed piercing wall, destroyed by the teams of NGE and Webuild.
      The new work produced for the breakthrough is no exception to the rule. Carried out during the last week, it was altered, transformed and improved by the men who worked on the preparation of the exit wall of the tunnel boring machine.The new work announces the tunnel boring machine by referencing some notable elements of the cutting wheel. The use of yellow colour and fluorescent blue are a tribute to industrial construction site colours , and alert us of the imminent exit of the machine.
      For Lek & Sowat, it is this idea of an exquisite industrial corpse that represents the quintessence of their collaboration with the construction world. By including on their works the traces of the work from men who built the extension of the tube line 14, they wish to pay tribute to all the builders involved and to the raw beauty of their places of intervention. .
      View more pictures of their work in progress.
