Rue des Pyrénées News (Paris)

By admin, 10 June 2010 11:18 PM

I am afraid this will be the last post about Paris for some time, as I am now living among the awesome British people.

However, the content of this last post is high quality, especially this magnificent French/German/Italian mural by Ankh, Wire, Sheda, Reso, Opium, Katre, Mr Wany, Astro, Rusl, Rota, Shane, Esty, Zeus40 and Next.

I also have an announcement for you guys. Is there anyone out there who lives near Paris and would enjoy making pictures, in galleries or in the streets, then writing a few lines (in French, English, or both) to be posted here?

It has been three months that the old RATP warehouse of the rue des Pyrénées became an unavoidable location for Parisian writers.

Due to the size of the building, big and beautiful painting can be seen by the passers-by. Here are some pictures to make you feel like  going for a walk:

Vitry Jam 4 – Le Monk (Vitry sur Seine)

By admin, 22 March 2010 5:50 PM

The Vitry Jam takes place every month in Vitry sur Seine. The 4th edition was held this weekend, and a party was organized with the artists for the opening in a private loft, the Monk. This loft is the dream home for any street art fan because all the artists staying there for the Vitry Jam left their mark on all the walls of the three-storeys house. And such artists! To name just a few: C215, Btoy, Finbarr, Snik, Sly2, Orticanoodles, Fake, Pixel Pancho, etc.

The Vitry Jam is also an opportunity for the artists to express themselves on the walls of Vitry sur Seine. You can’t turn a corner without finding a piece!

I have two regrets after this great night, though. First of all, the light was fading when I arrived in Vitry, so the pics I took in the street are not worth the originals. Then, I could not attend the next day to see what was in the Zongo’s Project Room and in the Concept Loft, the two other locations of the Vitry Jam.

And a big thank you to Virginia for inviting me!

Nick Walker “Le Coran Can” (Paris)

By admin, 20 March 2010 5:52 PM

Nick Walker just realised a new piece, showing women wearing burqa and dancing the french cancan, on the Quai de Valmi in Paris.

This is a way of expressing his opposition to the proposal of French president Sarkozy’s government to prohibit the full veil.

Rue Dénoyez (Paris)

Once again in the Belleville area of Paris, rue Dénoyez is a street which is entirely graffed and constantly evolving. A lot of artists use this street where painting is legal, and the beautiful murals made there never stay for long.

The atmosphere is very nice and the graffers are well accepted by the population Here are a few pictures to give you an idea, but I can only advise you go and make up your own mind.

If you want to follow what happens there day after day, have a look at this blog graff à Dénoyez
