Days off is the reason
Because it was during the university semester break. So I have some free time to look for street art from artists I like on the site. It is a work created in Paris and the surrounding areas. Because I want to touch it with my own eyes once before it disappears. and takes them as inspiration to create their own work The street art is in a large shopping centre. It’s about an hour away from central Paris, and there are 5 more bus stops. Hey, wherever you go, let’s go! See you at ‘Clos du Chêne’.
After getting off the bus, you have to walk about 600 meters to reach the project. and I chose the closest way to find the work of my favorite artist, that is Hope And as expected His work is still perfect. Although it has been created since 2021, every line of the brush is a stroke All the pigments are sprayed out of the pressure in the spray can. Still as beautiful as the pictures on social media I’ve seen.
I spent some time taking pictures and standing staring at the red and black details on the wall. Until I read the sign next to the work, a sentence was indicated in French: Clos du street art trail Oak It means the street art viewing path of this shopping mall.
Oh my God! There was only one, there was another. I looked around and it seemed that almost every empty space outside the building was covered with dozens of works of art by high street artists in Paris and Europe.
Be it on walls, ceilings, system cabinets, even car height restriction signs.
Clos du Chêne
Clos du Chêne is a large shopping centre. It has an area of over 54,000 square meters and consists of a number of box-shaped buildings scattered in the area. There are over 61 leading product brands apart from the building. There is also a park and playground. To support activities that are more varied than shopping.
Back in 2019, the project management team (FREY Group) and the local municipality There is an initiative to turn the shells of empty buildings into canvases for street artists. With that aim ‘This shopping center will be the biggest street art museum’
The term ‘street art’ may, at the discretion of many, refer to spray-painted smears on public walls. Sometimes there are quite rude words and meanings. Sometimes it was inscribed in pen, writing: ….the father of all institutions By the gas station bathroom door
If you imagine having a beautiful piece of art created on a public wall. From an area where no one pays attention Instead, there were people who came to walk around, take pictures, and create a little income for the people of the area. That work will be considered work that should be kept. Is it because it attracts people to the area?
If you look at the reality The wall is like a canvas or a space to express the thoughts of the artist. through the pigment thrown out of the syringe Through the line drawn through the tip of the brush It’s just that those artists didn’t have room to express their opinions freely, so the ‘wall’ was the only thing where they could shout their thoughts.
Go to the kitchen!
The first chapter of the story begins with guided street art artists Quick Graphite and 12 international artists such as RNST, THEY ARE, PRO176, Lord M Let’s come together to create 21 works on the wall without limitations in techniques and methods. The project was first launched and released to viewers on May 20, 2019, where it was considered a huge success. People pay attention and give importance to More and more ‘local artists’ became a project that continued in the following years.
