Street Fighter

This piece called Street Fighter or Chicane seems to refer to the yellow vest (gillets jaunes) protests that have been going on in France since November 2018. You see represented the demonstrators with the protection googles and contruction work hard hat on the shoulder of a type of civil servant character fighting against a special interventions officer (CRS). Interesting work and you can go wild with interpretations. You can find this paste-up down the road in the entrance to the Beaux Arts neighborhood.
Mara is a Montpellier artist that is one of the founding fathers and a member of the artists' collective and communication agency, Studio Abawé that focuses on graphic design and illustration work.
Mara focus mostly on pasteups and he does work for art galleries as well as in an urban environment. In 2011, he created the character we see in all his paste-ups with the cross face. He uses these characters   to tell his stories. Since 2011 that we see his work gradually invest the Montpellier city walls, day and night....(adapted from https://www.artistes-occitanie.fr/)
