A new artist emerged on the stage of Parisian artists. Around one year ago, more less 600 photos were cemented on the walls all over the city. All his works, as well as his nickname, remain for the moment #backtothestreet. People got very enthusiastic about these new street art pieces and Twitter was pretty charged with the new hashtag #backtothestreet appearing constantly since few months away now. </div>

It would be a bit hard to classify this new method of artistic expression (if there's a need of that, of course). It is neither a paste-up, nor a mosaic. Yet not a simple photo, because these photographs are glued on the white piece of paper, placed under the glass plate and cemented on the walls in the end.</div>

After reading the interview with artist published on: <a href="http://www.streetpress.com/sujet/1433424880-backtothestreet#">http://www.streetpress.com/sujet/1433424880-backtothestreet#</a>, we know that #backtothestreet is a backpacker/photographer travelling to such places as New York, Cameroun, Haiti. Over there he takes the photos without notice, without paying attention to the place. This way the photographs are very real and the artist needs to be very fast and very discreet at the same time.</div>

His inspiration was the movie about Banksy who did exposition of his photos on the street. Then, a clear idea appeared in his mind: the photos that he takes on the street, need to go back to the same place: to the street. Go back to the street. The real open air photo exhibition. Now, not only in Paris, but in Nimes, Lile or Bruxelles, too. Enjoy, everyone's invited! </div>

After a long break of not writing (life, busy life...), I decided that the next post can't be about whatsoever... So here it is: the biggest, I suppose, female character amongst all the street artists. As I said once that Jef Aerosol is a father of the Street Art (<a href="http://www.paristreetart.com/search/label/Jef%20Aerosol" target="_blank">here</a>), a mother, in this case, would be undoubtedly his peer: madame Miss.Tic (<a href="http://missticinparis.com/" target="_blank">her official webpage here</a>). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Miss.Tic isn't mysterious (only her real name remains unknown), as I thought once trying to figure out the roots of her pseudonym. There's her full biography all around the internet: lot of interviews, photos and videos (for example:<a href="http://www.artnet.fr/magazine/portraits/DEVAUX/MissTic.asp" target="_blank">YouTube's video</a>, where Miss.Tic talks about her book). No wonder: born in 1956 in Montmartre, Paris, she's officially present on the artistic scene since 1985, when she signed her first personal exhibition. I won't write here about her private life. I would only simply mention that Miss.Tic's art was much influenced by the fact that as a young girl, she lost almost all her family. You can read about on Wikipedia French, where's a quite big <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss.Tic" target="_blank">article</a> dedicated for her, or in English, though still very <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss.Tic" target="_blank">briefly</a>. </div>

Back to her pseudonym (which is interesting story): Miss.Tic. After reading and watching interviews with her, I have an impression that she's somehow very positive and very funny personality, who likes to laugh a lot. Therefore, it didn't surprise me that her pseudonym comes from the character of the Scrooge McDuck universe cartoon (Disney). Magica de Spell, this was the name of the character, was the very powerful sorceress/witch with the characteristic black shoulder-length hair (exactly like a Miss.Tic in real. Btw. maybe it was one of the reason why she has chosen so). In French, the name of Disney's character was translated: Miss.Tick. Another reason to choose her pseudonym was the fact, that during the years of Miss.Tic's beginnings, quite a lot of painters have chosen theirs pseudonyms after the cartoons characters, to underline the break with the abstract and metaphysical intellectualism from the past decades (after <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss.Tic" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>). It was so called "big beta" movement. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now a little bit about her work: simple stencils, fine idea and a pinch (or even two) of poetry. Everything that's needed to make a discreet but thought-provoking at once, street art. The main iconography are women. In one of the interview Miss.Tic explains that her inspirations have their roots in observation of the woman's status in the society. The images of the women that appear in the newspapers and adds; the women that are sexy, glamour, healthy and young. Miss.Tic says: <i>"It's nothing but an image that I'm trying to reverse and give it some new meaning, trying to do something new with it on my own way. I'm an observer, not a socio-political critic at any case!". </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Picture below: <i>Le corps au régime ment. </i>- "The body (bodies) on diet lies". At the same time we can understand: "The body (bodies) of (for?) the army (regiment)". </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Miss.Tic is a poet also, which is not hard to figure out whilst reading all these maxims and sentences, which have either a double meaning, or are a word-play. Very often in a phonetic aspect as well. For example, if we would read very fast the maxim "A la vie a l'amor" (picture below) - "For the life and love", we would understand at the same time: "For the life and death" ("amor" is written in Spanish in this case, to achieve her intention of phonetic word-play).</div>

The maxims that Miss.Tic comes up with are sometimes so brilliant, that the stencils become a nice supplement for it rather than inverse. Of course, it's not the case all the time. The seductive woman has a power. For her words to sound clearer... </div>

Even though Miss.Tic isn't a socio-political critic, like she's said, she likes to give her "opinion", when it's about some important political events. Then she signs her stencils vel "Miss.Tick Présidente", for us to know that the art was done for some "political" reason. Below the maxim says" On est ni de droite, ni de gauche. On est dans la merde" - "We're not from right, we're not from left. We're in the shit"....(so familiar!)</div>

Let's start then. The mosaic presented below is very Space Invador alike, but I'm not 100% sure of it... </div>

The one below formed by irregular polygonal pieces, presents a man in a gentle movement, either observing or trying to seize a butterfly. I saw once another mosaics by this artist and each and every one is about the same man, usually running after the animals. </div>

For the end, maybe not the best example of the street art (or maybe on the contrary, it is indeed), as it is pretty hard for me to classify this artwork... Nevertheless, first - it is a very nice and dynamic sculpture (especially the window's curtain being blown out of the window) covered all in mosaic, second - made instead of a window, so everyone can admire it from the street (or rather not instead of a window, but where the window couldn't be placed anyway, someone decided to fill this place up with this beautiful idea). </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Today's post is very special, because I'd like to present an artist whose work is very interesting (why, you will know after reading the interview below) and polyvalent at the same time. Second, because it is the first interview with an artist I have ever done so far. Third, because his art is very much correlated with the music, which I just love in arts. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">His pseudonym is Pax Leopard (<a href="http://www.paxleopard.com/" target="_blank">his website here</a> - enjoy watching the video!) and he's a young artist living in Paris (btw. he become a dad recently - congratulations once again!), trying to create out of his art an experimental field, which will combine pictures, videos, music, maybe even dance - all together. However, it doesn't mean that these units can't exist independently of each other at the same time. </span></div>

say it's a multi-faceted project. Sort of mix and link of a different art forms,
with elements that complement with each other, but which, </span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%; text-align: left;">still, can be viewed, heard or experienced
separately. I wanted, in this way, create the interaction with people, so they
could be the actors at the same time as the listeners and the observers. To
create a link between outside and inside. To get a person to move, who
discovers our universe in front of his/her computer, to go explore the streets and
find us there; or on the contrary, to get to move those, who would usually crossed
our characters on the street only, to go find us on the web, to discover our
universe right there, through an interactive website. I try to break a bit some
barriers and bring together the arts, that a priori, don't have that much to do
together.</span></i></span></div>

decimated during the nineteenth century. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selknam_people" target="_blank">The Selknam people</a>. I'm completely
fascinated by the beauty of the costumes they were wearing during their
initiation rites. Therefore, I wanted to pay tribute by letting them reborn in
this form. For the beginning, I have interpreted and manufactured their
costumes myself, then, I have invited some friends for costume dance session that
we filmed entirely. The positions of the characters that you can observe on the
walls, are taken from this dancing session. As the story to tell, becoming
recently a father, I feel, somehow, that I paid tribute to Selknams' tradition
by celebrating in this very special way my own transition from adolescence to adulthood.</i></span></span></div>

In the end everything is about the music - that was the first idea for the title of this post, as I was going to prepare the post about two different artists connected by the main link: music. Finally, I ended up by dividing them into two independent posts, because the second artist will be interviewed by me soon, but for that, still, we need more time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Back to the artist from today: he's pseudonym is SOBR, or Sobre. Although he is French, his area of creation is pretty wide: Berlin (mostly), French cities like Marseille and Paris, Lisbon, Bucharest, Rome etc... On <a href="http://sobre-art.com/home.html" target="_blank">his website</a>, we can find no information about him, but photos of his works, projects and the place given to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nevertheless... After digging up the internet, I found out, that I wasn't the only one complaining about the lack of information about SOBR. <a href="http://www.mo-berlin.com/" target="_blank">Mogli Oak</a> was also, just finally he did an <a href="http://www.mo-berlin.com/an-interview-with-french-street-artist-sobre/" target="_blank">interview </a>with this artist, so now we can know more. I will quote this interview here, as I find it short yet comprehensive.</div>

SOBR is actually involved in two projects. One called Tekno Painting (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/sObre.aka?fref=ts" target="_blank">Facebook page here</a>) and second one: IT'S TIME to DANCE (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/ItsTimeToDanceProject" target="_blank">FB's page here</a>). The latter is the leading one for the moment and there's plenty of paste-up showing girls while dancing. Why? What was the idea?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In his <a href="http://www.mo-berlin.com/an-interview-with-french-street-artist-sobre/" target="_blank">interview </a>with SOBR Mogli Oak says that: <i>"[...] he likes to party and his work is a reflection of this. He especially likes raves and free parties and he says these “counter-cultural” non controlled parties are what touches him the in our society. He says that “on the dance floor there’s a complete freedom and a real connection between people” and this is what led him to spread the joy of partying to the streets with his It’s Time to Dance Project."</i></div>

On his <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ItsTimeToDanceProject/info" target="_blank">FB's page</a>, in the "About" section, there's a phrase: <i>"Du mur d'enceintes aux murs de la cité"</i>, <span style="background-color: white;">which we can translate</span>: <i>"From the speakers' walls on the walls of the city"</i>. It explains everything about the idea of his "dancing" street art and importance of the music during the process of its creation.</div>

Very often there's additional element behind these dancing silhouettes. Either yellow tape saying "IT'S TIME TO DANCE" or a rectangle picture, made out of lines and shapes, reminding me a bit a labyrinth, tribal pattern or, finally, the (nowadays omnipresent ) QR Code. SOBR says that it is inspired by the repetitive aspect of the techno music. Like a try of its visual transcryption. </div>

Quote from the <a href="http://www.mo-berlin.com/an-interview-with-french-street-artist-sobre/" target="_blank">interview</a>: <i>"The pictures he pastes up as part of this project are of people he has photographed at techno raves and parties around Europe. His criteria for subjects is, for one, that they have to show a real love of dancing, but who must also show “grace” whilst doing so. Then it simply comes down to the technical matter of lighting and to whether it is possible to create a stencil from the photograph".</i></div>

The colours are rather minimalistic, two, maximum three each time, with quite big dose of grey. I guess when the photos are being taken by night in the clubs, during dancing and accompanied by the dim light, we don't see much more than this. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In June this year, <a href="http://pantonio.net/p_2.html" target="_blank">Pantonio</a> (Antonio Correia), Portuguese artist, created the highest, as far, mural in Europe. Pantonio has always been the part of artistic exhibitions, urban art festivals and even called once to go to China to design a giant mural, consisted of animals culturally relevant to China (more details and photos <a href="http://www.stick2target.com/long-ma-jinjsxiu-by-pantonio" target="_blank">here</a>). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The animals and characters designed like if they were the photography's negatives, by use of the very flexible and soft lines, presented in motion that resembles the current of the river, are "swimming" on the walls. Sometimes lazy, sometimes more lively, Pantonio's incredibly soft compositions magnetize our eyes. Minimalist colours are the must. White, blue and black, sometimes pinch of red or yellow, to not get lost in this labyrinth of silhouettes... </div>

This largest mural in Europe, was unveiled in 13th district in Paris, on Thursday 19 June 2014. On the website of <a href="http://itinerrance.fr/inauguration-de-la-plus-haute-fresque-deurope-de-pantonio/" target="_blank">Galerie Itinerrance</a>, which is the official patronage of this urban series of paintings, we can find few informations about it. Namely, <a href="http://itinerrance.fr/portfolio/pantonio/" target="_blank">Pantonio </a>was working on this fresco one month long and it has (the wall of the building actually) 66 meters high and 15 meters wide.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Once again some guest post from Poland, as I went there for a weekend. This time I just couldn't take my eyes off this murals... Both the technique and the valuable message form an amazing work of street art! I wouldn't mind to have a smaller copy at home... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Unique, vivid details, <u>sense of proportion and movement</u>, which is so hard to capture correctly on such large surfaces are one of the biggest attitude of this murals in city of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szczecin" target="_blank">Szczecin</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
First one was created by the artist, originally from Wrocław city in Poland, named <a href="http://cekasone.blogspot.fr/" target="_blank">Cekas</a> vel <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ceka100/265189486916425" target="_blank">Ceka 100</a>. The light, skinny, dancing-alike silhouette with a big, heavy, colourful and rich in detail head , hunting for a fly reminds me a bit a monster that we could watch in a movie <span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2127134976/tt0457430?ref_=tt_pv_md_1" target="_blank">Le labyrinthe de Pan</a>. </span>A duet of a grim reality from one side and a cruel world of fantasy from another, with a pinch of poetry. Breath-taking!</div>

Both of these murals were created in 2011 from the initiative of Eco Jam Graffiti vol. 4, a part of the project "Projekt EGOS", which promotes environmental activities. Eco Jam Graffiti has the idea of aesthetic transformation of the the neglected, disturbing, dirty places, through the artistic interventions, so the could become friendly, eye-catching and "renovated". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mural presented below was created by three artists together LUMP(from Szczecin), CHAZME and SEPE (from Warsaw). The colours, the details and the concept are amazing. LUMP says: "Murals are an alternative for banners and disturbing city-lights. They destroy the visual centre. Street art is not the closed part of the gallery, where "you can watch, but don't touch". Urban art meets people, has a wide range and forces the viewer to change his perception of public space". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"This painting (below) is part of the context of the city and enhances its diversity. At the same time it becomes its representative. The idea of this mural is to ask a question: to have or to be. If you don't perceive the real values, you lose the sense of existence" - adds Ceka100.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Animals, after people, are one of the most gripping subject for the street artist. No wonder as what else could bring more life to the grey street than a wild animal? Serious, with a wink, grotesque, funny, scary or very sophisticated- Parisian jungle lives its own life in hundreds of ways.</span></div>

Below, first two pictures present the art works of the artist called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bonomgraffiti" target="_blank">Bonom</a>. Creating mostly in Paris and Brussels, Bonom likes to make us felling uneasy with his sprayed works, that occupy the highest parts of the buildings, like if they were "floating close to the sky". A nice article about Bonom you can find <a href="http://vingtparismagazine.com/2012/06/bonom-takes-art-to-the-skies-can-graffiti-really-be-legal/" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

Below: boar on the spit. Scary, bit gory piece of art arranged around the technical ladder fixed on the wall. He uses very often this element of the building as an integral part of his graffiti. Very, very impressive...</div>

The last presented group of animals is treated in a very artistic way with a kind of wildness preserved, which is hard to see at first glimpse, but we feel it very well. There are the beautiful compositions taking the final form of the animals, as well as the animals that are more or less "anthropomorphised". Picture below, forming a tiger's head, probably is made by an artist called Dourone, but I'm not entirely sure.</div>

Another tiger made by <a href="http://fredlechevalier.blogspot.fr/p/accueil.html" target="_blank">Fred le Chevalier</a>, a Parisian favorite as a street artist. Actually, Fred's tiger is transformed to represent a daemon. More about him and his numerous characters created with the pinch of onirism to be found in my previous <a href="http://www.paristreetart.com/2013/04/fred-le-chevalier-madame-mustache.html" target="_blank">post about Fred le Chevalier</a>.</div>

No thoroughfare road sign originally retouched by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/clet.abraham" target="_blank">Clet Abraham</a>, was, in my opinion, enhanced once again, but by another artist, who pasted the eyeball instead of the head. Moreover, this eyeball sticker is reflective, which gives different effects with and without a flesh (made by night ). </div>

I also found a bicycle (I'm not sure though, whether was it really bicycle or not...) frame, attached to the wall, with the RIP sprayed behind it. Apparently, for some people the feelings don't need to be addressed to the human/living beings only.</div>

I must admit that these animals, of a large format - as they occupy entire walls, found by chance around the corner, arouse some kind of terror. They also remind us, that in this post-industrial and super urbanized environment we are not the only inhabitants...</div>

Street art piece below is just breathtaking. As it was taken by night and under the bridge, the quality is not the best, but thanks to it the 3d effect is much more enhanced. I was starring a little while on it, com<span style="font-family: inherit;">pletely amazed. Not only because of the 3d effect, but the motion that artist was able to create using this particular technique. After, on <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2392721/DALeast-Breathtaking-work-secretive-Chinese-graffiti-artist-world.html" target="_blank">DailyMail</a>, I found a long article about it. <a href="http://www.daleast.com/parasite/" target="_blank">DALeast</a>, chinese secretive graffiti artist, whose <i>"<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">unusual paintings, which are sometimes hundreds of feet across, can look 3D and as if they are created out of thousands of tiny metal shards, but in fact they have been spray-painted onto a flat surface." </span></i></span></div>

Making-of presented in this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI9BZ1Ro4vo#t=69" target="_blank">movie</a>. Superposing and spraying many stencils, one on the another is not only an interesting technique in itself but also, in my opinion, serves to emphasize the "message" contained in his works.</div>

The themes behind his compositions read in a personal, metaphorical sense with a sharp, ironic touch."</span></i></span></div>

Nemo found. Where? In 13th district of Paris. Actually I found his two works and one of his friend -Jef Aerosol. Those two are the artists who began the story about Street Art in Paris. Already long ago. About Jef Aerosol I wrote few months ago <a href="http://www.paristreetart.com/2013/09/expressions-of-city-faces-of-paris.html" target="_blank">here </a> Now is the time for Nemo. (<a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%A9mo_(peintre)" target="_blank">wikipedia </a>only in French)</div>

Below I'm presenting one of his work (from march 2004!) (photo presenting entire art work <a href="http://www.unoeilquitraine.fr/index.php/nggallery/tags/lezarts2004/?page_id=190#!prettyPhoto" target="_blank">here</a>) that is extended on the entire wall. He has integrated perfectly a silhouette of a man, hurrying down the stairs, loosing meanwhile all his affairs: suitcase and umbrella. At least, we think so at first glance. Then we're starting to notice, that he's not hurrying down the stairs, but fishing actually. There's a red fishing-rod in his hand. Behind the bushes(bottom left), there's a water drawn, together with the paper boat and a red balloon above. </div>

Not only this man - by the bye reminding me a detective from some novel - but also the black cats, fish, blue parrots, colorful little stars, light blue water, paper boats and other childhood-like stuff are the elements of each and every piece work of this artist. I think that Nemo (some more works to see <a href="http://www.flickriver.com/photos/gandara/sets/72157600244541267/" target="_blank">here</a>) shows how an adult person, serious and dignified, would try to connect with the world that he doesn't belong to anymore. Namely his own childhood... How he would like to go back in time (space even) and become a child once again. For that he uses all these little colorful elements, to achieve a "dreamy", magic, fairy tale-like atmosphere. Black gentleman with a hat is a perfect contrast to it.</div>

About Nemo himself, there's a <a href="http://evene.lefigaro.fr/livres/livre/daniel-pennac-nemo-25398.php" target="_blank">book to buy</a> by Daniel Pennac. His real name is Serge Fauri(by <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemo_(K%C3%BCnstler)" target="_blank">wikipedia</a>) and he started as a computer scientist for a living. After started to amuse himself by painting the black gentleman on the damaged walls, doors and windows to offer a little poetry to those sad places. Sometimes he co-works with Jérôme Mesnager and his white characters that meets his mysterious black man. </div>

Above: destroyed a bit, but still visible, gold fish. Definitely the simplicity of the used components, the message of the artwork, the composition that captures everybody's eye made him one of the best artist in the history of Parisian street art. Jef Aerosol, his friend, as they were working together, quickly found an excellent graphic answer to those "lost dreams". Namely, it's a pensive boy, staring somewhere far away. Probably the realization of what "the man with a hat" looks for, a bridge between the adulthood and childhood. The boy lost in a dreamland, or a boy who is afraid to join one day the reality of a black silhouette. </div>

Only few meters far away from the first art piece of Nemo, we can already find a second one. Much more smaller and "modest" in composition, yet still moving the imagination of the adults and children, who are passing by rue Pirandello. </div>

In the same place, just around the corner, I found something that I considered, at first glance, as a kind of poster about photography. Then I realized it's a art piece of <a href="http://janaundjs.com/" target="_blank">Jana und JS </a>artists (on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/js_/" target="_blank">flickr</a>), who were invited to work for <a href="http://www.lezarts-bievre.com/" target="_blank">Lezarts de la Bievre</a>.

What we can read about them on their <a href="http://janaundjs.com/francais/biographie.html" target="_blank">website</a>: their works fit well the urban spaces as well as a closed rooms like exhibitions areas etc. (personally I prefer the urban context, as they beautifully compose and integrate the silhouettes of people within city areas, old houses, walls, trams etc). </div>

Quote from the <a href="http://janaundjs.com/francais/biographie.html" target="_blank">website</a>: "Inspired by the city and its architecture that is constantly changing, but also by those who live and observe, they paint landscapes, simple architectural details and portraits in mirror sets and transparency. They use the stencil technique, based solely on their photographic work."</div>

In the work presented above I really like a lot this urban game accent, which provides an average passer to play with it by placing any kind of object on the stack and laugh at a "photographer" taking photos of it.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
First time I saw the works of Smot in March this year. Since that time he/she has developed a lot and we can notice more and more works on the Parisians walls. As far I couldn't find nor his website, fun page nor the Flickr account and so on. Maybe in the future he will add more information on the web about himself/herself, at least I'm waiting for that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The only work I came across that was not placed within the lace plate is the one presented below. Funny beetle with one big eye, strong human arms and a crown above the "head" may represents many things. The quickest and simplest association that came to my mind was a suggestion of supernatural power of the smallest creature and/or nature...which will rule one day??? Creepy cartoon...I'd better leave it to others to figure it out.</div>

The rest of the Smot's art works are always place in the middle of the circle-shaped plate framed by the lace. It has become his strong trademark already (I'm wondering how he cuts it out each time). Anyway, as a subject different things are chosen: faces, parts of the human body and simple objects (though, mostly those very sharp and dangerous are taken into account). Next step is to create something completely new from given object by adding supernatural value to it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Below: truly beautiful mind or nature combined with the human body (like a beetle above) as a new supernatural value?</div>

Also, it's possible, that Smot wants to show, that we perceive the things, which seem to us at first glance: ugly, brutal, sharp, boring, ordinary etc., much more differently, only when it is placed within a pretty frame or has a nice "package". Like on the picture below, we don't see the saw blade as fast as the lace around, which grabs all the attention at first glance.</div>

In August'13 second post from the series "Unknown artists" has appeared on this blog. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.paristreetart.com/2013/08/the-gallery-of-unknown-artists-part-ii.html" target="_blank">The Gallery of Unknown Artists (part II-stencil)</a>.

On <a href="http://stewearth.com/" target="_blank">his website</a> we can see that Stewearth is very busy with different kinds of art: stencil, graffiti, poster/paste-up, exhibitions, street art, clothing etc. The main motifs are usually intertwined with Asian culture (Japan, China etc) but also many of them with Japanese series of fighting games. </div>

Couldn't find the name of this work though. But maybe these warriors don't have any, as Stewearth draws quite a lot of different versions of them... Waiting for more!</div>

Probably it doesn't exist, the more interesting subject for artist than a human face (except entire human body of course). Why? Well, what could be more expressive? Moreover, the street artists want to catch our attention much more than the other artists do, and nothing is more intriguing and eye-catching than a wall, that we're just passing. Especially, when it has its own proper eyes and observing us at the very moment...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's start with the most famous street-face of Paris. Just next to the Pompidou Center and occupying an entire wall, there's an art piece made by the "father" of street art - <a href="http://www.jefaerosol.com/" target="_blank">Jef Aerosol</a>. As we can read in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jef_A%C3%A9rosol" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>: <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Aérosol (French stencil graffiti artist born in 1957 in Nantes) is represented by several galleries in France and abroad. He made the cover and gave its name to the <u>first book ever</u> published about <u>street stencils</u>: "Vite Fait, Bien Fait". </i>His trademark is the little red arrow, which appears on each and every work of him. Nobody really knows to what it refers. To reveal by everybody by his own. </span></span></div>

This "lovely" face of Jack Nicholson ( <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081505/" target="_blank">The Shining</a> movie, 1980) was taken as a subject for the work of the young artist <a href="http://zonayarost.blogspot.fr/" target="_blank">Zona Yarost</a>. The artist's comment for this stencil is: "La salle de bain est libre?" ("The bathroom is free?"). As far I noticed that Zona likes to "pick up" the topic that are somewhat connected with war, violence, macabre etc...</div>

Next photo shows two different works from two different artists. First one, unknown, is playing with the words: "STREET TARTE" (which refers to "STREET ART"). Whilst it's neither most subtle nor most complicated play on words, another artist, <a href="http://petrus-von-tricht.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Petrus von Tricht</a>, allows himself to comment it with his own paste-up, saying: " un homme banal" ("an ordinary man"). Petrus von Tricht likes to use the walls as a sort of common dialog between the artists, but there will be another post about him. </div>

This unbelievable expressive face was done by an unknown (as far) artist, but at least I managed to find who's face is it. It belongs to the French comedian, actor and political activist <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Dieudonné M'bala M'bala</span></span><b style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.1875px;"> </b>(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieudonn%C3%A9_M'bala_M'bala" target="_blank">wikipedia</a>).

Second part of the gallery dedicated for the artists that didn't sign their own works. Like I mentioned in my previous post (<a href="http://www.paristreetart.com/2013/05/the-gallery-of-unknown-artists-part-i.html" target="_blank">The Gallery of Unknown Artists part I</a>), this time I will present only stencil/graffiti works.

Enamored couple, or Les Amoureux (in French) is the stencil work showing gey couple kissing. But as we look closer - it's not a modern couple from 21st century. We can see (at least it's my impression) two princes taken out directly from <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_k4KlTBHHNY/Tv5Ooe1DvdI/AAAAAAACCRI/_yuLQSAubcU/s1600/DisneyPrinceLineup.jpg" target="_blank">Disney cartoons</a>.

One of the most beautiful stencil I've ever seen as far. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Morrison" target="_blank">Jim Morrison</a> - Back in 10 minutes. What makes it even more powerful is the fact, that this stencil we can find near the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A8re_Lachaise_Cemetery" target="_blank">Pere Lachaise Cemetery</a> in Paris, so the place where Jim Morisson "sleeps" till today... </div>

It doesn't happen very often, to find a work under our feet, on the pedestrian way. This way it won't last too long. But what makes it even more interesting, after googling what's written on it: "Kolsch Loreley", I found a piece of nice music instead of website of the artist. Really great idea (a collaboration between two artists or auto-promotion?) and nice to listen to! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROkJdFKIKBQ" target="_blank">Kolsch Loreley</a><br />

Blurred stencil of the man with the cigarette in his mouth. But the cigarette is in fire. Maybe this flame started something and that's the reason why he is painted in the way as if the flames were coming from inside him.<br />

Codex Urbanus, the pseudonym of the French artist born in Paris in 1974, is closely associated with his art. There's no official website, just account on <a href="http://codexurbanus.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">tumblr</a> or <a href="http://www.artslant.com/global/artists/show/326337-codex-urbanus?tab=PROFILE" target="_blank">artslant</a>. The artist describes his art as: <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">figurative and surrealistic. </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It appears as incredibly large urban </span>encyclopedia<span style="font-family: inherit;"> of all kinds of species and creatures, which are the mix of prehistoric animals, video games inspirations and own artist's imagination. Of course, it's not a typical </span>encyclopedia -<span style="font-family: inherit;"> it exists only on the city walls and only for short period of time (usually). </span></span></div>

Another part of the <a href="http://streetart-paris.fr/2013/03/decouverte-du-codex-urbanus/" target="_blank">interview</a>: "How would you describe the style of Codex Urbanus?". <i>"Free - would be the first adjective. I need to be very decisive whilst graphic defining the animal and at the same time very fast and stealthy.

"What's the goal of you'r work?"

I like to see the interactions between the people and my animals, to see them taking photos. Second would be to create a permanent and coherent bestiary* in Paris, but it's an every day hard work, as the species disappear (under the municipal painting) from the walls very quickly." </i></div>

First two photos were taken in February this year. It looked like somebody adopted a theme of Kate Moss face as a main theme of his/her work. Recently in Paris, we can discover a whole lot of those. <a href="http://www.konnysteding.de/Flash/start.htm" target="_blank">Konny Steding</a>, that's the name of German artist behind these street art works. This summer she went out into the streets around Centre Pompidou, which is her favorite place in Paris since very long.</div>

We can't really find too much information neither on her <a href="http://www.konnysteding.de/Flash/start.htm" target="_blank">website</a>, nor on her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Konny-Steding/223620194367021" target="_blank">Facebook </a>page.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This explains the philosophy of Konny's art. She decided to show her work, very expressive portraits (usually) instead of creating the story around herself, that sometimes might be faster than the art. <span style="text-align: left;">As a active painter and street artist, she's been present on the artist scene since '94 already and most of the time cooperates with the art gallery named: Moretti & Moretti (<a href="http://www.moretti-moretti.com/artists/konny-steding" target="_blank">website</a>).</span></div>

"God save the art-institutions" sounds pretty funny in this situation, as she has pasted-up a lot of her work on the walls around the city. Maybe this way she claims that there's no point to exhibit your work in the galleries only, but at the same time the "art institution" still remains as the only true "home" for it?<br />

It's hard to find in Paris one big wall, which could be entirely covered with street art murals and/or which one could cover with those, before having the problems with police... For that the "<a href="http://lemur.asso.fr/" target="_blank">le M.U.R.</a>" was invented. MUR, translating from French, means WALL, but in fact it's a shortcut of: A<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">ssociation le Modulable, Urbain, Reactif. This way there are two nice concepts in one, because back to the </span></span><span style="line-height: 20px;">meaning</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"> of shortcut (mur = wall), everything here is about one big wall, located between the streets Oberkampf and St Maur in Paris.</span></span></span></div>

This time, the day I was taking the photos, there was presented the work of Parisian artist Tania Mouraud.

Then I was strolling a bit more around, and I found this family of wolves and one man, who screams: "Aime ton voisin", which means "Like your neighbor" (you should like your neighbor). I guess somebody made fun of it soon after and added those funny bodies to each and every head, so it's not scary anymore. There's kind of artist's sign, but still I don't know the name.<br />

Just across the street a two-walls-mural was made by different artists. The variation of different creatures and styles makes it hard to focus on any of it, but for sure there's a long story, both literally and figuratively, behind it. Anyway, in general, I find it nice to look at. </div>

Next mural was made by French artist <a href="http://www.lucilesaurel.com/" target="_blank">Lucile Saurel</a>. A combination of people, animal, movement, instruments etc. presents quite interesting picture. As she explains on her website: birds, people, flowers, they all form a landscape - elusive and always in motion.<br />

And for the end, one of my favourite: <a href="http://fredlechevalier.blogspot.fr/" target="_blank">Fred le Chevalier</a>. This mural was made especially for this little semi-public garden in 18th district in Paris. As we can see, the main characters hold the flower pots, so it wasn't random (the garden is about the flowers). There are also the characters with suns. Maybe it represents the seasons (but they are only three...)? And the big demons are transformed this time into kind of trees, to close this "garden composition".<br />

The great moment came. The moment of invading this website, too. As it is impossible to not come across him in the city, either this blog couldn't stay without a post about him. The French street artist Invader (<a href="http://www.space-invaders.com/som.html" target="_blank">his website</a>, <a href="http://www.space-invaders.com/cheersfromspace/" target="_blank">blog </a>or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invader_(artist)" target="_blank">Wikipedia article</a>), who pastes up his mosaic works around the world, become one of the best well known urban-street-artist. His characters that are inspired by the arcade game <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Invaders" target="_blank">Space Invaders</a>, are made up from little mosaic pieces, like the characters are made up from pixels. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's a nice and clear <a href="http://www.space-invaders.com/faq_uk.html" target="_blank">FAQ-like interview</a> on his website (although it's from 2008), explaining shortly the general idea of the Invader's actions and activities within the cities. I will paste a few answers here, the most essential to understand his work.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Basically, I guess around 1000 or more little invaders-mosaics are pasted all around Paris already. I noticed that the work of Invader periodically undergoes some metamorphosis. In the beginning of his work - early 90's, they were more simple, "pixelated" and very alike invaders from the games. However, with the time they have started to relate much more to the surrounding. For example picture below shows the mosaic with the paint roller, because the name of the street is "Impasse des peintres". After, another and another, let's say, "species" were produced.</div>

Quote from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invader_(artist)">Wikipedia</a>: <i>"The locations for the mosaics are not random, but are chosen according to diverse criteria, which may be aesthetic, strategic or conceptual. Invader favours locations that are frequented by many people, but also likes some more hidden locations. In <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montpellier">Montpellier</a>, the locations of mosaics were chosen so that, when placed on a map, they form an image of a giant space invader character."</i></div>

I spent quite a lot of time on fumbling in the web, viewing different blogs, webpages, searching using internet photo's engines, etc... However, the artists' names of the works presented below still remain unknown (at least for me and many other people, too). If somebody, whilst viewing this blog, will have any idea which work belongs to which artist, I will be glad to have your comments, hints or messages with those information! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
To keep some order, The Gallery of Unknown Artists (part I), will contain just poster/paste-up works. In the next parts I will present: stencil, stickers and mosaics works.</div>

First picture presents the "couple" holding in their hands little baby (newborn, I guess, though somehow not happy at all about coming to this world). Pretty big piece of street art, near somebody's door (maybe artist's apartment?). </div>

The little poster presenting the characters from Little Red Riding Hood made on me a strange impression. Girl without a face and the wolf somehow becoming a part of her...What is written over it:: "Loups & Vautour" - Wolves & Vultures. Second line is hard to understand, as it's not French anymore..."Brako un corp bo" (?). Google Translate says it's Galician language and translates it like "Brake a body good" (?!?). Of course some other person, not the artist, has written that. </div>

The one below simple made me big smile. For a while, I wasn't considering it as a street art at all, until I found exactly the same poster pasted up in another place.

The last presented piece of street art is very unique in it's beauty. Piece of newspaper cut out more less along the contours of the head, which looks like a head of an ancient sculpture. It's like color-graded stencil art painted on the newspaper and then glued to the wall. I wonder if picking up an appropriate newspaper was of any importance. For example the main title: "Ce genre de challenges" means: "Such challenges". What more passes through my head is, that maybe artist shows something ancient mixed with something modern? Or maybe that we lost the classical, ancient values which should shape the presence? Who knows if we don't even know the artist's name. Such pity!</div>

Faces, faces, everywhere...Smiling, with a tongue out, giving a kiss or simply "existing" on the Parisians walls, all of them are the work of <a href="http://www.gregosart.com/index.html" target="_blank">Gregos</a>. On his website we can find information saying: French street artist, who in the late 80s and early 90s was using Graffiti as his way of expression. After years of experience with ART, Gregos has developed his own 3d concepts, involving different methods of molding and sculpting, to create those faces that replicate his very own one.</div>

This kind of background for Gregos' face is a sort of exception. Maybe he didnt't want people to forget that he is an active painter as well? In addition, it creates a really nice composition. </div>

Here the hands are "holding" the panel with a caption saying: "No bans" or "Without bans". This kind of urban game using road signs initiated previously Clet Abraham (<a href="http://www.paristreetart.com/2013/03/road-signs-street-art-and-other-plates.html">http://www.paristreetart.com/2013/03/road-signs-street-art-and-other-plates.html</a>).

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Woman and interpretation of her body, studying her face, results in various types of street art works. Stencil art, poster art and other form of expression present in worse or better way the female characters. Sadness or strength are the most often emphasized characteristics of the woman's personality. After we can observe more flirting or vulgar sides. Finally, very rarely the ladies appear in a simple, nice or, let's say, elegant way. But for that is street art made: to satirize, emphasize, exclaim something rather than just portray.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The first three pictures are portraits. More or less advanced studies showing the face focused on something or looking straight into our's eyes. I would say, the works of rather three different artists and all of them are unknown for the moment.</div>

Next three pictures below belong to the Street Artist called Paddy. I couldn't find his website, if one exists... Those are NOT my favorite ones. While the second is kind of acceptable (Karma's a bitch), so the others (by me personally) not really. Especially when there's no proportion neither of the body nor the face and something that should appeal, looks vulgar or just horrid.</div>

Stencil art piece presented below became already very famous in Paris. Young brunette with an expressive gesture of the hand and strong looking-like face. There's already a large number of people trying to discover the artist's name. As far nobody unveiled. "Vendez moi du reve!" means "Sell me dream!". I suppose that this tagline belongs to some other artist.</div>

This stencil art could be much more nicer, simple without this tagline, which says "butt head". Unless it was someone else, who has painted it later. Anyway, it doesn't change the fact that it's not funny. Or maybe I'm missing a sense of humor?</div>

Finally, an artist presenting the women in a very elegant way. And not the unknown women, but the most beautiful and famous actresses of the past century. <a href="http://www.fkdl.com/blog/" target="_blank">FKDL</a>, Franc Duval, has created a big series, called<a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.619414368074656.154215.100000182954715&type=1" target="_blank"> Midi-Minuit</a>, in which we can admire among others: Vivien Leigh (photo below), Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot. On the photo below, on both sides of silhouette, there's a collage made of most famous movie stills, where those actresses were starring. Just love it!</div>

The photo is titled "Press Power" and metaphorically represents today "media's dictatorship".<br />

As we can read on Rancinan's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/G%C3%A9rard-RANCINAN/37015732400?fref=ts" target="_blank">funpage</a>: "This shocking image takes a part of "CHAOS", a new series that will make the world tour in 2013". Personally, I think, it would be hard to find a better photo illustrating today media's influence, violence and pervasiveness. Chapeau bas!<br />
