A brilliant Roa exhibition will be taking place until Sunday at the Itinerrance gallery in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.

I had already seen some impressive pieces by this Belgian artist in the streets and knew he was talented, but I could not picture how his work would be adapted to a gallery. Hence I went to see this exhibition, ans was not disappointed.
The pieces were made suitable for the gallery by using recycled supports with articulated panels; depending on the position you put them in, you can see the insides of the animals. It reminded me of the picture of the rabbit I made in London recently.
The gallery walls are of course showing Roa’s totem animals: rabbits, crows and small insects. Some smaller pieces are pencil-drawn, and there is also a series of pictures showing the extent of the artist’s work outside.
Anyway, great exhibition, and brilliant welcome!

interview with Roa (in french)
The first time I went to Grafton Street I didn’t notice a wall graffed by the NSA crew in a parallel alleyway.
So I went there this weekend to make pictures, and bumped into Casm graffing. He told me there is a studio dedicated to graffiti in Liverpool, so my next move will be to go and have a look…
Pure Evil is having a solo show in Paris at the Lebeson Gallery from the 20th of February.

I spent a weekend in my hometown, and dropped by this spot in the outskirts. It is a 500m long wall which is entirely graffed. As usual, everything is not good.
I personally love the Les Lascars murals. For you who are not French, this is a cartoon about caricatured characters living in Paris suburb.
This spot is not the most famous one in La Rochelle though. There is one right in the city center which you can’t miss. It’s very nice to paint there as there are many passers-by, who are not necessarily interested in graffiti, but the pieces there often get their attention.
Promise, next time, I’ll write about it.
To celebrate the Year of the Tiger, Copyright released a gorgeous two panels screenprint. This is made with two screenprinted colours and one stencil-painted colour on hand-customised paper. The size of each panel is 70×50cm, and 13 copies are available.

Grafton Street is located in the Waterfront Business Area, a warehouse area not far from the city centre.
This street is the playground of the very good crew NSA (Casm, Azid, Beta, Dead, Tea One, Pois, Care, Phog, Syph, Inoe, Hope, Ziek, Moak, Sta One, Kesk, Seez, Kore) who develop a very detailed wildstyle:
For more info an interview of Azid is available on World Graffiti.
One of my favourite artists, the Belgian Roa, will have an exhibition in Paris for the first time from the 4th to the 28th of February.
If you don’t know Roa yet, have a look at the pics in the last article on Londres, le lapin c’est lui.
From 4 to 28 February 2010
Vernissage on the 4th of February at 6 p.m.

During my stay in London, I of course went to see what was new in Leake Street.
And, as is usual now that anyone can legally paint in the tunnel, not everything was good:
