Active in the world of graffiti since 2008, he pays homage to the heroes of his childhood: butterflies, owls and spiders. His art acts like the mirror that reflects the cries of a nature that we no longer listen to. His works, produced in a lively and realistic style, are so many imprints left in the urban space. Thanks to an artistic process that allows him to repeat his patterns while changing the scale, Mantra shows ever more precision and concentration and takes care of every detail of his paintings to give a unique soul to the wall.

For Love, graffiti is a means of expression, a form of protest against established society, an alternative to violence and a means of recognition and respect.

<div>Behind this name hides a duo of French artists, Temor and Blow, created in Bordeaux in 2012. Their works transcribe social themes into mural fables thanks to the representation of totem animals: the bird (Blow) and the monkey ( Temor). The tandem plays with the semantics of these sacred monkeys and birds to deal with humans. Between his material obsessions and his fantasies of freedom, Man must find the right balance in order to build himself as a social animal. Their inspiration is mainly drawn from sacred or lyrical works (illuminations, stained glass, architectural ornamentation, Japanese prints…).

NIKODEM

<div>Nikodem or NKDM is a hybrid artist who combines street influences (graffiti) with a technical training in drawing. Graphic designer, illustrator, graffiti artist, street artist and screen printer all rolled into one, NKDM’s interventions are many and varied, from the street to the walls of galleries. NKDM makes no judgement regarding candour and satire, lightness and tension and allows this ambiguity to permeate through his works. Whether he is working on a wall or a canvas, his relationship with the material oscillates between that of a sculptor and that of a painter. Today, having abandoned realism for pictorial abstraction, his preferred realm is the street. He seeks to re-enchant our towns and re-appropriate our urban pathways. By thus creating anamorphic frescoes, by blurring the real lines of perspectives in order to recreate others, more beautiful and inventive, NKDM offers every passerby the opportunity to regain their capacity for wonderment as they turn a corner.<br><br></div><div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/nkdm1"><strong><br></strong></a><a href="https://www.ville-boulogne-sur-mer.fr/street-art/en/project/nikodem-2/">Discover Nikodem </a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/nkdm1"><strong><br></strong></a><br></div>

<div>Through remembering, we honor that which has passed. How we choose to remember something or someone dictates its enduring existence. As the viewer travels down the street and between these two paintings, they are reminded that it is here, in this space between life and death, that memory and experience are formed.<br><br>The concept for these walls was built over many conversations. From small chats to a 10-hour car ride to France, the initial seed began around memories of those who have departed. The bouquet of flowers becomes an offering, a celebration and for us an apt vessel to convey the idea of remembrance. It also allowed us to introduce and engage with the community through the act of asking people to donate flowers from their gardens. After a bouquet was vetted, hung and photographed, the flowers stayed on the wall, slowly wilting as we painted the first mural. Day after day we revisited the flowers and documented their rapid decay. By the time the first mural was complete, we compiled the images, becoming a capsule of our time spent there and a passage between life and death.<br><br>Part of the 6th edition of the Street Art Festival in 2021</div>

It belongs to the street and to its inhabitants. Its ephemeral side reinforces its existence.

<div>DAVID WALKER</div><div><strong>English artist – 31 rue de l’Amiral Bruix<br></strong><br></div><div>A talented portraitist born in 1976, David Walker lives in London. A representative of the graffiti movement, he creates portraits using spray paint only. No paintbrushes, no pencils, no brushes of any kind. In addition to the ephemeral works painted in the streets, his canvases are now on show in Paris, Berlin, New York, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Lisbon and Miami. David Walker uses the spray can exclusively, with no additional technique, in order to give life to sublime portraits of women. “I don’t know them and they don’t even know that I am painting them. If I paint anonymous faces, it is to allow the spectator to create his or her own story”. These faces are sketched, as if scratched out… Sprays from a can thicken the line, rendering it more lifelike.&nbsp; And so emerge sensual and colourful female faces, veritable “Brides of Fire”, as he calls them, who are thereafter emblazoned on the walls of the cities. The hybrid style of David Walker, half way between illustration and graphic design, is evolving and gradually turning towards drawing.<br><br>https://www.ville-boulogne-sur-mer.fr/street-art/en/project/david-walker-2/<br><br></div>

Between figuration and abstraction, the frescoes of the street artist Turin superimpose different visual layers in order to harmonize the anatomical proportion and the futuristic dynamics around the idea of ​​time which freezes.

A fisherman throws their net into a desolate dried-out landscape becomes a vision of a not-so-distant future.
