Miss Tic (hommage) 58-62 Rue Gérard, 75013 Jack Ardi 8 Rue Simonet, 75013 Shadee K 8 Rue Jonas, 75013 Shadee K is an incredible "free electron" in the urban art market. He was only 15 when he launched into both Tags and Graff, whispering his young talent on the walls of the capital. As a child of Les Frigos de Paris, he quickly focused on the nounours [teddy bear] theme, which he revisited, both through street collages and unique works on canvas, paper, traffic signs, banknotes, body painting, etc … No technical limit it seems for this artist as modest as it is moving. Priscilla Vettese 6 Rue Jonas, 75013 she has been practicing drawing and painting since her childhood. After the discovery of his hypersensitivity, his life takes another turn, art is back in force in his daily life and gradually takes a major place.

M Fulcro Michelangelo's David, Mirone's Discobolus, Laoconte are for us essential symbols of culture, philosophy, democracy and high thought.

Philippe Baudelocq 9 Passage Boiton, 75013 The diptych questionnaire was composed on the pattern of the one that Proust made famous by his answers. Of these thirty-four questions to get to know a loved one to diptyque, it is only required to respond to those that please him. Philippe Baudelocque is a designer of monumental frescoes. Freehand, he creates with chalk. Sometimes sketched out on preparatory sketches, his works propagate on their support in improvisation, by the rhythm of the motifs that he reiterates and diffracts as they compose its gigantic subject, often that of an imaginary animal, but also of abstract fabrications or symbolic morphograms. The artist finds his inspiration in the history of iconography, from the parietal fresco and the primitive arts to imagery science, as well as in so-called hard knowledge, quantum physics, mathematics, natural laws, which he combines with his childish fabulation He first became known for his animal graffiti fantastic that he entrusted to the deterioration of urban walls. Many of his frescoes are naturally ephemeral, as they want to be alive more than durable. Toctoc Opposite Lycée Professionnel Tolbiac, rue du Moulinet, 75013 created the DUDUSS character in 2012, when I was still an Art School Student It’s my nickname, when I was a Kid my friends and family started calling me like that, I don’t really know why, no one know like to add new characters to existing famous paintings. Tries to create one per day in order to publish a book in the near future. finished high-school, at 17, I decided to study Art in Paris. I’m a country-side man, so I discovered graffiti when I moved to Paris. I loved this idea to paint in the streets, but I didn’t wanted to paint Graffitis, so I created the DUDUSS and started wheatpasting it everywhere. Today, on top of my Street Art activity, I’m a freelance illustrator and I’m exposing my work in galleries as well. remember long time ago, I was wheatpasting with my parents around, and my father started screaming “Police !” (in fact it was a meter maid – laughs -). They both started running, leaving me there ! Few minutes later, I’ve seen the meter maid taking a picture of my DUDUSS. Tim Burton, I really love Tim’s movies and paintings. In fact, my first DUDUSS seris was an homage to Tim. He inspires me. The second would be Hansky.

I discovered photoshop in 2017 when I was eighteen, basically I was making t-shirts and stickers for "Falco", which was already my name at the time. Shared graphics made on Instagram and then took step to other side of screen and began to make street art Concept and message come before aesthetics in my work. I don't make things to be pretty, in any case, that's not my first intention. I like art that provokes, that points the finger, and that questions. There is always a touch of humor and irony, even if I denounce and it is quite satirical. I don't want to offer violent images, and I find that using subtlety can amplify the strength of the message. I play a lot with the news, I bounce on it, not for the buzz but for the work to be in context. For example, when I paint in the street, I choose a place that has a link with the message of the work. When it's a diversion, I act directly on something I saw in the street and I come to redefine it. I do not hesitate to express myself personally in my work. It's my heart and my mind that speaks, and my hand that translates it. Inspiration Christian Boltanski, Maurizio Cattelan, Norman Rockwell, CB Hoyo and Thierry Jaspart. - https://www.moka-mag.com/articles/falco Jace Super Mario mural 61 rue du Moulinet, 75013 Spécialisé dans le détournement d’affiches publicitaires, avec le Gouzou, a faceless orange two-legged species, il a exposé ses œuvres aux quatre coins de la Réunion et du monde à plusieurs reprises depuis 1996. End tour at Jardin de la Montgolfière (Hot Air Balloon Garden) Joseph and Étienne Montgolfier, born in Ardèche in France, began to experiment with lighter-than-air flight in 1782 using a piece of fabric billowed aloft by a fire of wool and damp straw. The first human hot air balloon flight took place in 1783. The balloon was made of cotton canvas with paper glued onto both sides, measured 18.47m tall by 13.28m wide, and weighed 400 kg. It travelled 9 kilometres in 25 minutes, from the Château de la Muette to the Butte-aux-Cailles. It ran aground on what is now Place Verlaine, close to the garden. Laid out as a terrace on a former land for free activities, the garden is planted with clematis, wisteria, cherry trees and paulownias.
