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!

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.

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
La Kommune, which used to be called La Forge, is an artist squat located rue Ramponeau in the Belleville area of Paris. L’Atlas and Teurk’s studios are hosted there.
In the yard the visitor admires a huge red, black and white mural, product of a collaboration between several artists like Speedy Graffito, Sunset, Above, L’Atlas and Zoo Project. There is also a smaller mural by Sunset and L’Atlas.
Then at the back of the yard three walls are free for everyone. Small gardens can be found in the whole yard; they were created for the inhabitants of the area.
This place is thus open to anyone, regardless of age, which is very nice.

I mentioned this artist squat in the rue Neuve Tolbiac in a previous post. I went there to practice a bit, and made some pics.
Unfortunately the security guy, who is new addition to the street, told me it was now forbidden to graf on the Frigos building because it is going to be renovated. This is sad because the walls had been free for everyone to express oneself for almost 20 years…
The “Né Dans La Rue” exhibition shows the New York origins of graffiti. First of all, in the basement, the 70’s are represented by documents dating by to this period, like blackbooks of legendary graffers, records of the NYPD, painting equipment showing how luckier we are today, etc.
Some of the sketches in the blackbooks were reproduced by the graffers themselves, for instance a whole train coach by Seen on the wall of the room we are in. This gives a peculiar impression but immerses us in the atmosphere from then. One of the walls is covered by pictures of New York train coaches; the origin of each one is explained, as well as the letterings they show.
Upstairs, an exhibition features works by Jonone and Poch, reflecting today’s graffiti. This is temporary, as the exhibition changes constantly.
In the garden two huge walls have been set up, showing, when I was there, works by Obey and the French stencil artist YZ. Moreover the front of the Fondation Cartier has been covered by a giant graffiti.
Outside the foundation, on the street side, the fence is free to use for passing graffers, which is nice considering the location.
Here are some pics, mostly of the outside fence, as it was forbidden to make pictures inside the foundation.
Until the 10th of January,

JR and his team have taken over the quaysides of the Île Saint Louis in the 4th arrondissement of Paris since last week. When I went there they were still working on their project, which will be launched on Saturday, along with the “Nuits blanches”. A movie will be shown in the yard of the 4th arrondissement townhall for the occasion.
There will also be an exhibition at the Pavillon de l’Arsenal (21 Boulevard Morland, 75004 Paris) until the 23 October.
