Bouda

<div>As an artist who takes her inspiration from comic strip and cartoon illustrations, Bouda is willing to make her characters exist outside the box and to represent them at a large scale. Her acrylic and spray painted mural that appears in La Folie housing project (Chalette sur Loing - center of France) stands for the will to move forward together in the same direction. Moving forward together no matter who one is and where one comes from is the main idea, for strength and unity comes from the collective.&nbsp;<br>At the top of the mural has been painted a friend, a son, and a brother : his name is Cobalt. He was and always will be a part of Label Valette, as family and collective are their creed.</div>

<div>Water has always been synonymous with life.<br>The human being developed the first civilizations along great rivers.<br>The city of Gien is located on the banks of the loire river, the second most important in France, where ospreys, common terns or grey herons are some of many species that coexist, live and take advantage of its resources, such as the habitants of Gien.&nbsp;<br>This water tank (1400m2) is one of many that can be seen in this area. Very flat lands that need high places to store water and be able to distribute it. Totems over 35m high. TAQUEN&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;C’est un singe Vervet qui orne la façade du quartier Kennedy a Montargis . Bien qu’il soit suffisamment commun pour être classé comme « moins préoccupant » sur la liste rouge, il est protégé, notamment par la fondation du singe vervet ainsi que par <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cybelleplanete/">@cybelleplanete</a> . Ce singe suscite un intérêt sérieux pour la recherche, on a découvert récemment que vivant dans des régions aride, les Vervets peuvent vivre sans eau pendant un mois.&nbsp;<br>This is a Vervet monkey that adorns the facade of the Kennedy neighborhood at Montargis. Although it is common enough to be classified as "least concern" on the red list, it is protected, notably by the vervet monkey foundation as well as by @cybelleplanete . This monkey is of serious research interest, it was recently discovered that living in arid regions, Vervets can live without water for a month.&nbsp;<br><br></div>

LE VERVET

RATUR

<div>L'aurore titre de l'oeuvre de RATUR est une invitation a contempler les beautés fragiles tout autour de nous. l'Elément éphémère tel que la rose, dont la fragilité des pétales fait écho au caractère unique de la vie, ramène à l'etre humain. Le visage de la femme qui se déconstruit en feuille morte est un symbole fort du temps qui passe.<br>The aurora, title of the work of RATUR, is an invitation to contemplate the fragile beauties all around us. The ephemeral element such as the rose, whose fragility of the petals echoes the uniqueness of life, brings us back to the human being. The face of the woman who deconstruct herself into a dead leaf is a strong symbol of the passing time.</div>

THE AURORA

Joram Roukes

<div>Joram Roukes, a prominent Dutch artist on the international street art scene, spoke on the second realization of the "GIEN MONUMENTAL" project, a water tank located at the entrance to the town of Gien (45, Loiret). Dressed in flowers, Joram wanted to celebrate the richness of the different flowers present in the territory.</div>

GIEN MONUMENTAL 

<div>L‘égo désigne la représentation et la conscience que l‘on a de soi-même. S‘il n‘est pas nécessairement négatif, il est parfois considéré comme une entrave à notre développement personnel - et à celui de nos sociétés par conséquent.<br>Et si, pour construire le monde de demain, nous mettions l‘accent sur nos rapports aux autres plutôt que sur l‘unique réussite individuelle ?<br>Pour illustrer cette idée, nous proposons une œuvre globale, mêlant lettrage et dessin. Sur le mur pignon de gauche, un personnage s‘élève en écrasant les autres. Afin que le message soit doux et ludique, nous utilisons des oiseaux plutôt que des personnages humains. Le côté symbolique permet également une plus forte identification. A l‘opposé sur le pignon de droite, figurent ces deux mêmes oiseaux, mais cette fois, sur un pied d‘égalité. L‘ambiance est de toute évidence plus agréable. Au milieu de la scène, comme un hommage à l‘art du graffiti, un immense lettrage occupe l‘espace. Les lettres s‘entremêlent entre des feuillages : DE L‘ÉGO A L‘ÉGAL. La syntaxe est suffisamment ouverte pour laisser libre interprétation et faire naître l‘échange autour d‘une notion complexe : qu‘est que l‘Égo ? Et d‘ailleurs, qu‘est-ce que l‘Égal ?<br><br>The ego refers to the representation and awareness that we have of ourselves. Although it is not necessarily negative, it is sometimes considered an obstacle to our personal development - and to that of our societies as a result.<br>What if, in order to build tomorrow's world, we focused on our relationships with others rather than on individual success alone?<br>To illustrate this idea, we propose a global work, mixing lettering and drawing. On the left gable wall, a character rises while crushing the others. To make the message soft and playful, we use birds rather than human characters. The symbolic side also allows a stronger identification. On the opposite side of the gable on the right, the same two birds appear, but this time on an equal footing. The atmosphere is obviously more pleasant. In the middle of the stage, as a tribute to the art of graffiti, a huge lettering occupies the space. The letters are intertwined between foliage: FROM EGO TO EQUAL. The syntax is open enough to leave free interpretation and to give birth to an exchange around a complex notion: what is the Ego? And for that matter, what is the Equal?<br><br></div>

Tim Marsh

<div>The idea for this mural was to surprise a little with the theme, and to convey a message that could inspire the students of this university. For this, I chose to talk about the adventure carried out by a couple of friends, which was the biggest challenge of their life: Going from Alaska to Patagonia, by bike!<br>This adventure was a physical challenge for them of course, but also in terms of the organization, the mind, the need of reactivity in various and varied situations, and so on. But not only.<br>They were also able to discover a different continent from the one they knew, see landscapes and wildlife as they would not have been able to via a more “traditional” trip, but above all discover different cultures, and learn from all the people. that they encountered. I find this adventure as beautiful as it is loaded with meaning, and this is what I would like to convey through this painting. TIM MARSH</div>

Yakes

<div>LaBel Valette Festival , "Hors les murs" édition 2020&nbsp;</div><div>Inspired by the theme "Tomorrow is far", Yakes wanted to highlight nature and animals. The breach is a passage between two worlds, the urbanized one of humans and the still intact and wild one of animals. The latter invite themselves into our environment and bring with them color, life and diversity. The plants spread all around the breach, the animals, out of curiosity, gradually came out. A new biodiversity is establishing itself, a new hope for humanity where man and nature coexist peacefully.</div><div>&nbsp;<br><br></div>

DEMAIN C'EST LOIN 

<div>“The silence of the birds” is a 100m2 mural, produced at the end of October 2019 in Rilleux-la-pape by the french artist KALOUF. This artistic project, selected through a call for projects from the municipality, focuses on a problematic of our territories: the disappearance of birds in the agricultural environment.<br>The human impact (globalization, mass consumption, urbanization ...) contributes to accentuate the environmental damage that we are experiencing today.<br>In 25 years, the population of birds in agricultural areas has reduced considerably. This is very worrying given that a third of our friendly passerines have disappeared due to intensive agriculture and the massive use of pesticides, which destroy the insects and plants on which these birds feed. An alarming reality that tells us that the overall quality of the agricultural ecosystem has deteriorated.<br><br>more info : <a href="https://www.kalouf.com/">https://www.kalouf.com</a><br><br></div>

The silence of Birds 

<div>The work "Gorilla Urbaine" is an ephemeral XXL mural of more than 2000 m2 produced from July 8 to 26, 2019 on the facade of the former Novotel hotel in Lyon (France). Presented as part of the Big Wall Zoo, it was visible a few months before the demolition of the building in January 2020. This fresco, proposed by the Zoo Art Show was offered by Vinci Immobilier in resonance with the event "Zoo art show 2 ".<br><br>The gorilla.<br><br>All gorilla species are now classified as endangered. If poaching is one of the major causes of the disappearance of gorillas, the destruction of their habitat is also a big factor. The original "soul" of the oldest forests in the world is disappearing, crushed by a dazed consumer society with no future. The gorilla has had to deal with deforestation which has long decimated its natural habitat. Timber harvesting, agriculture and even the reduction of their natural space are destroying Africa's main primary forests day after day.<br><br>Inspiration<br><br>For the attitude of the gorilla, I reinterpreted the last masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci "Saint John the Baptist" in which the gesture of the hand which indicates the sky is also a biblical allusion because Saint John the Baptist announces the coming of Christ. But the smile of Saint John the Baptist is mocking, almost ironic, the same enigmatic smile of that of the Mona Lisa. The gorilla, in turn, points to the sky, as if to announce the coming of a huge tower ... with that same wry smile.<br><br>Approach<br><br>I draw my inspiration from nature. I include animals in my creations on the walls of cities, in order to question the place of animals in this increasingly urbanized world. Today, when the resources of our planet are dwindling, as humanity lives on credit, can we stop this ecological collapse? Are we able to question our consumption patterns? How to make this societal ecological issue, which conditions all the others, a priority issue? How can future generations take power by promoting biodiversity?<br><br>more info : <a href="https://www.kalouf.com/">https://www.kalouf.com</a><br><br></div>
