I’m back. Only a short post today.Just before leaving for a week I visited a recently opened art gallery (La Gallerie Ligne 13), close to where I live. It seems to be specialised in “urban art” which more and more also gets indoors. At present there is an exhibition of “Mesnager” and “Mosko & Associés”, some of the well-known urban artists.
I have several times found and shown what they and some of their colleagues have produced in the Paris streets (see previous posts). Here are a few examples.
I guess I should probably have resisted, but I didn't, so I bought a small picture, cosigned by "Mesnager" and "Mosko".

Love you blog! Lot of inspiration here, and things to see at my next trip to Paris! Thanks...
Bonjour! Te voilà de retour, j'espère que tout s'est bien passé.
De jolis décors bien joyeux que l'on mettrait avec plaisir partout chez soi. Et tu as su en profiter, lucky you!
I love the way you call your post "short"!
love the work but isn't it interesting that they are turning the city into an urban jungle with images from the natural rather than urban world..
Hey Peter, that's great that you were able to take one home...
I first photographed one of Jermoe Mesnager's works in 1986 in the area that used to be called les Entrepots de Bercy, which has since disappeared... there is a link in my labels list if you'd like to see some earlier Mesnager from around Paris...
Hope you had a good week away in Sweden...
Interesting art! Quite a perspective!
j'adore ces oeuvres, superbe cette fresque sur les gars de Menilmontant
C'est bien de mettre de l'art dans sa vie! Je vois souvent des tableaux qui me font envie mais...
Dans un tout autre registre, il y a un Chagall (un vrai!) à vendre dans une galerie rue Saint Honoré. A défaut de l'acheter, on peut au moins en profiter en passant!
A very nice picture you purchased there! I won't ask the price though! I hope it was a round number so that the two artists can share the money...
It's interesting that these two are normally associated with a third artist, Nemo, but that he never produces art that can be sold. I guess he has stayed 'true' to his roots, or that he has found a way to earn sufficient money to live on through other means!
Oooh, art and animals. Too of my favorite things!
Good for you, Peter! It's a good thing to buy artist's work!
Il fait toujours un temps à faire des indoor posts. Drôles de zèbres, sur tes photos.
I bet it's nice. But you could have saved money and just painted graffiti on your wall. :)
Welcome back. We missed you!! Love this shop. I think I'll put it on my list. The red ones i like the best of course! But which one did you purchase Peter? Marilyn perhaps??

I love that tiger :D Interesting art pieces I must say.
C'est le zèbre et le danseur tout en bas que tu as acheté ? Bon choix, tu as bien fait de craquer.
Très intéressant de voir que l'art de la rue passe sur toile et en intérieur. Evidemment ça fait un peu récup' et affaire à fric mais après tout pourquoi leur en vouloir alors que les grands patrons gagnent des millions avec leurs délits d'initiés et leur 'golden parachutes' ?
En matière d'art il n'y a qu'une règle : il faut acheter ce qu'on aime. Comme ça peu importe la cote, on est toujours content de son achat.
Welcome back Peter, j'espère que tout va bien.
Oh FUN!
I love too the way the entire building is painted.
So much to see in Paris..
Adorable and glad to know you bought some of these beautiful art!
Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful post. Glad you are back. I've been so busy that I haven't had time to miss Paris but your blog will change that now that you are posting again.
Hope all went well in Sweden.
Well the zebra on the red background was a grand choice! Since you've told me that the exhibit will change, I guess I won't get to see this one, although you know how I feel about grafitti and this is much more to my liking inside! :) Mesnager is my favorite!

Welcome back! I'm with Virginia, the zebra with the red background is a great choice, and I prefer artwork on canvases vs. grafitti.
I love the tiger also.
Good for you for not resisting!
I bet the artists are glad you did not resist! Their work is really interesting. I especially like the animal paintings without any people in it.
Yes, I hope when I'm in Paris we can meet. I've rented an apartment there for five weeks, a long time dream of mine to feel like a Parisian if only for a while, so I'm sure we will get together for a drink or maybe a photo expedition!!
Bonjour Peter, superbes oeuvres, j'aime beaucoup. félicitations à l'artiste !
En entrant dans les galeries les arts de rues perdent le coté éphémère qui faisait leur charme.
J'espère que tout va bien en Suède.
J'aime bien le tigre et la tête du zèbre.
Your purchase is worth the temptation. Really beautiful!
Love it.
Have a great day, Peter!
looking for toy soldiers in paris any ideas?
Interesting how the backgrounds are all red. Love new ideas in Art.
I am glad you are back, Peter!
Love that art and my preferred are the zebras.
Yes, the coastline of the ocean is different of the coastline of a dam. I confess that I love more the ocean coastline.
Have a nice day!

So, I made the right choice! :-)
Another address for the next time... ;))

I guess there will be more vernissages later, although I hope to meet you in Paris fairly soon! :-)
Hi Peter! Great blog! I love your purchase. Thanks for sharing :)
