<div>"Mechanical Lion" Herzogenstr. 36, Goch by Ardif @ardifstreetart from Paris were created in the wake of the Goch history meets Streetart Festival in April 2022 organized by Benjamin Taag and the Heimatverein Goch e.V. #ghmsfestival<br><br>Nice action, the Gocher could apply for it, and the demand was quite large!<br><br>His name is Ardif and he is a French street artist who works mainly in Paris and is recognizable thanks to the style of his works. Once you have discovered his art, you will be able to recognize it everywhere, if among a thousand murals there were also one of his murals, it would still be impossible to be wrong.&nbsp;<br><br>Ardif's favorite theme is animals, which he can depict hyper-realistically by capturing all the details of insects, lions, sharks, and so on. But that's not all.&nbsp;<br><br>The street artist copies reality, since it is only half of the figure, while for the other half his drawing becomes more and more mechanical, as if revealing a hypothetical scaffolding of bricks and gears hidden under the skin of his motifs.&nbsp;<br><br></div>

His beings are in fact divided into two parts. While one half shows a naturalistic representation, the other half is a transformation into a curious machine in nested architecture. </pre><div><br></div><pre>This juxtaposition creates an interesting tension and invites you to take a closer look. ARDIF enlarges its drawings and brings them to the street as paste-ups. In Paris, its semi-mechanical animals have become an integral part of the cityscape.</pre>

<ul><li>Ardif donne vie à ses créations, mi animales, mi machines, au travers de tracés à la précision déconcertante. De ces rouages il dit lui-même faire ensuite « de la dentelle », faisant ressortir les mécanismes de ces structures mécaniques grâce à la texture des murs. Son travail,retient l’attention par la débauche de temps et d’énergie qu’il suppose, mais aussi par les interrogations qu’il laisse en suspend, montrant l’équilibre précaire existant entre l’Homme et la Nature.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Source : Decazeville communauté </strong><a href="https://www.decazeville-communaute.fr/listes/les-street-artistes-du-mur-murs-fest/"><strong>https://www.decazeville-communaute.fr/listes/les-street-artistes-du-mur-murs-fest/</strong></a><strong> .

<div>The artistic career of this
 French architect begins after the
 Paris terror attacks in the year
 2015, when he felt the need to
 convey your message to the public. His work
 uses urban collage to reflect a
 unique universe populated by a bestiary
 animal hybrid halfway between
 the natural and the mechanical, drinking from
 industrial design and steampunk e
 taking inspiration from Julius Verne and Miyazaki.
 With astonishing precision and detail,
 Ardif's work has become an object
 search by the walls of the capital
 French, inviting us inescapably
 to question our relationship with the
 nature and the way that our
 insatiable search for new
 technologies is transforming it.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; La carrera artística de este
 arquitecto francés comienza tras los
 ataques terroristas de París en el año
 2015, cuando sintió la necesidad de
 trasmitir su mensaje al público. Su obra
 recurre al collage urbano para reflejar un
 universo único poblado por un bestiario
 híbrido de animales a medio camino entre
 lo natural y lo mecánico, bebiendo del
 diseño industrial y el steampunk e
 inspirándose en Julio Verne y Miyazaki.
 Con asombrosa precisión y detallismo,
 la obra de Ardif se ha convertido en objeto
 de búsqueda por los muros de la capital
 francesa, invitándonos ineludiblemente
 a cuestionar nuestra relación con la
 naturaleza y la forma en que nuestra
 insaciable búsqueda de nuevas
 tecnologías la está transformando.</div>
