Faces representing different emotions by Montpellier artist Hugo Baudouin. This piece is literally sitting « under the bridge » of the A9 viaduct in Montpellier. Very close of Marché du Lez. This artist has several pieces referenced in Montpellier (some have disappeared) mainly in the graffiti mecca of the Quai du Verdanson. This is piece is one year old but looks practically untouched and still there, where I saw it no later than last weekend. Labaud will soon have a solo exhibition at the Murum Montpellier, Arts and Crafts store (https://instagram.com/murum.montpellier?igshid=1ahxshqyvxuk5) that always has amazing exhibitions by street (or not) Montpellier artists. Don’t hesitate to go from the 20th of March.
