There are several zebra crossings on Hoche place where these drawings have appeared! Seems someone wanted to emulate Jean Cocteau.
---------------------------
Sur plusieurs passages piétons de la place Hoche sont apparus ces dessins qui me font penser à Cocteau (en un peu moins bien quand même...)
This is by a very talented artist, I like this art work a lot, so simplistic and yet strongly emotive.
ReplyDeleteRisky place to make your art though...
This is the one of strangest place to draw something and it is even difficult and risky to observe the finished work. Nice and original though!
ReplyDeleteWhat is a zebra crossing? Would you consider this graffiti? Interesting for sure!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! You cou could frame that photo.
ReplyDeleteIl faut avoir l'oeil!!
ReplyDeleteDeja que les Français ne traversent jamais sur "les clous"..
Maintenant ils auront une raison:
ne pas abimer ces graffiti!!!!
I was wondering what a zebra crossing was, too, until I realized it's a crosswalk!! Interesting place for art!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. The artist has chosen an interesting "canvas." Definitely NOT the safest spot but surely one where his/her work will get noticed.
ReplyDeleteDoes he work at night? What an interesting photo, and a great story. Art really is everywhere!
ReplyDeleteWell the artist at least has an audience.
ReplyDeleteIt is a novel idea but the artist's blood could become part of the drawing if he's not careful.
ReplyDeletebravo tu as l'œil, et surtout une belle création, l'art de rue comme je l'aime
ReplyDelete@ Jacob: Janella's got the answer above!
ReplyDeleteUne bonne idée d'encadrer Ainsi Une linéaire création. Je pense à un pochoir que j'avais trouvé à Lyon:
ReplyDelete"Que fais tu
de mes mots si
tu ne les lis pas,
tu les efface
Avec Tes pas? "
Very interesting!
ReplyDeleteBTW, yesterday in my French group we talked about "Le Hameau de la Reine".I think you have already posted about this place. Is it possible to find about using your labels?I search about "Hameau"and I could not find...any clue?
Thanks dear Ciel!

This mystery person seems to be trying to make his own mark on history! I'll have to read and see if I can figure out what the zebra crossing is!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see him try that on a real Zebra.
ReplyDeleteMy money was on you to get my Wednesday Doorway!!
ReplyDeleteStrange place to show your art. If you want to call it that.
ReplyDelete@ Léia: no, actually, I haven't yet. What I posted was the Petit Trianon (see label). It is part of Marie-Antoinette's domain as is le hameau.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen that before. . . I guess it would be unique to do your art in a crosswalk BUT it will disappear when they repaint them and all will be lsot unless the artist also takes a photo like you did.
ReplyDeleteInteresting canvas. The art is actually quite good. Hard to frame though!
ReplyDeleteGreat street art.
ReplyDeletedes passages piétons oeuvre d'art est ce bien raisonnable pour la sécurite routière
ReplyDeleteCool! Not a common sight on a zebra crossing here.
ReplyDeleteCharming. I love the freshness and the lovely drawings.
