Zoer – Tour Enedis – chemin des Terriers (near Croix Rouge)
Zoer, a figurative painter born in Italy, spends his life between Paris and Saint-Martin-Vésubie. Acrylic and oil are his preferred methods. His artistic research revolves around studying the object - to understand its philosophy and use - whose life and afterlife he captures in painting. From the portrait of the object to the question of the imprint, the artist's work tends to explore the inevitable resurgence of form and matter.
La sChOOL – Former Croix Rouge school, 170 chemin des Terriers
Exhibition "Ici les Artistes ont fait le MUR"
With GUIUCHIYART / SIERA / LAURA DIVANAK / OCM VIBRATION / FLOYAJAM / OLIAS
Every year, the Urban and Musical Art Centre La sChOOL hosts a mural exhibition featuring six artists from the Côte d'Azur urban scene. A true open-air museum in the garden of the former Croix-Rouge school allows visitors to discover the artists making the news in urban art in the region.
Petite Poissone – D35 Bis (on the way up, before the Croix Rouge roundabout)
Petite Poissone's work is essentially text-based, rarely illustrated. She draws and records her impressions in notebooks filled in daily. These daily notes also give rise to aphorisms pasted in the street or on everyday objects. Very clean texts pasted on dirty street walls, sweet words present in the collective unconscious (proverbs, popular songs), feminist messages decorating the household utensils so emblematic of the housewife of the 1950s and 60s. To create a reaction, humour is distilled into these statements.
RIMP – Croix Rouge roundabout
Strongly influenced by masks and their powers, Rimp is mainly interested in the figure, which can be found whole or in part in his compositions. Influenced by the beliefs men have to explain the world around them, such as totemism or animism, his style is a playground inciting the mind to create formal associations, logical links specific to the spectator, thus offering different levels of reading to each individual. Rimp tries to reveal the links that exist between all things in a world in which we’re not the master of all its components.
Ërell – Highway ramp, 2222 route de Grasse
Artist and designer Ërell experiments with an ephemeral form of appropriating urban space. His writing is rooted in graffiti. He’s undertaking a process of simplifying his signature.
Inspired by artists like Sol Lewitt, he eventually reduced it to a geometric form that he later split up. The genesis of his new identity involves transforming a handwritten signature into a modular, reproducible visual emblem, identifiable by all. Throughout his studies, he built bridges between his street work and design training. As such, he nurtured the transformation of his graffiti work into work on geometric abstraction.
Rodrigo Estoy – 220 allée des Terriers
Rodrigo Estoy is a Chilean surrealist artist who specialises in muralism. His creations focus primarily on scenes of everyday life transposed into a mystical, poetic world. Recognised for his sense of aesthetics and ability to successfully complete his projects, Rodrigo Estoy has been commissioned to perform large-scale projects by the Chilean Ministry of Health and Santiago Metro.
HELL'O fresco – Route de Grasse, below the commercial area
Hell'o is a Belgian artist duo, Jérôme Meynen and Antoine Detaille. Coming from the world of graffiti, they left behind lettering and spray paint for paper, painting, ink drawing and installation work. Together, they operate within a rich and intriguing graphic world, which is constantly developing, increasing its references. Strange animals, small characters and asexual creatures recall the fantastical world of fables and tales. Their compositions also evoke a surreal, dreamlike world.
Abys – 1370 chemin des Terriers
Julien Brouand, alias Abys, is a self-taught French artist from Nancy. Passionate about drawing and cartoons since his early childhood, he discovered graffiti in 2009. After several years working with various collectives, he moved towards more personal work in 2015 and stood out by creating his own characters, which he puts into lively, narrative, colourful compositions mixing decoration, lettering, etc.
Scaf – Bus shelter – 256 boulevard André Breton
Scaf is a 39-year-old artist from Lorraine, passionate about drawing since childhood. He began graffiti in 2002. He mainly prefers the realistic style and comics. In recent years, his works have focused heavily on animals and anamorphosis. The optical illusions he creates are for him true playgrounds where the artist interacts with architecture. The mural becomes a photographic work thanks to their often unusual settings.
Olivia Paroldi – Boulevard Guillaume Apollinaire
An engraver for over 15 years, Olivia Paroldi is committed to continuing traditional ancestral techniques and using them for the purpose of contemporary artistic freedom. Over the years, engraving has become her preferred means of expression. By choosing the walls of our streets as her canvas, she claims to give her prints an accessible, popular dimension, to work for a free and open form of art. Her images invite passersby to slow down and tell themselves a story, for a few seconds, a few minutes, to change the hectic pace of their daily lives.
Andrea Ravo Mattoni (Italy) – Expressway – RD 6107 (between Châtaignier and Badine exits)
Making the great classics of painting accessible by giving them new life on the street - this is the philosophy that drives Andrea Ravo Mattoni. Coming from a family of artists, 'Ravo' naturally immersed himself in the world of painting from a very young age. First as a graffiti artist, then on a more classical path at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, where the Italian painter devoted himself to oil and acrylic. It’s by merging these two passions that the artist created his style "dal classicismo al contemporaneo" and an ambitious project: recreating great masterpieces from the past with spray paint on walls to make them accessible to the general public.
