Two colleagues...


In a recent post I told about meeting Gregos, a street artist known for his faces, which you can find on walls a bit everywhere, in Paris and elsewhere. A couple of days ago, I assisted when he together with his colleague FKDL decorated the entrance gate to the art gallery Joël Knafo, where they both exposed (144, boulevard Vincent Auriol, 7513 Paris).  It was the last day. 

FKDL was just back from Athens where he had exposed, made a collage (representing Anthony Quinn) at the Michael Cacoyannis (director of "Zorba" etc.) Foundation and made some large wall decorations. 
 

I have made links to their respective sites on the previous post mentioned above.

¡Cómo no creer en Dios cuando uno ve semejante arte!

How can there be people who draw and paint like that?

¡Qué maravilla!

Mil gracias.

Le play boy de FKDL est très élégant. Qui pourra expliquer pourquoi il a les pieds dans des poubelles ?

L'art de rue est de plus en plus reconnu et donc lucratif. On ne peut que s'en réjouir pour les artistes qui peuvent en vivre lorsqu'on pense que Van Gogh n'a vendu qu'une toile de son vivant et qu'Utrillo les échangeait contre un coup à boire...
Ces figures collées me font penser à deux "masques" vus au musée du Quai Branly : celui pris de son vivant d'un chef maori et celui mortuaire de la tête d'un chef Kanak

Watching artists at work fascinates me. This is a wonderful way to see such a creative streak in action. Wonderful color. I am such a sucker for color!
