Graffiti artists in Paris, much like in New York and Los Angeles, have transformed urban spaces—sidewalks, metro stations, staircases, abandoned buildings—into showrooms that exhibit their work in all of its many mediums, from a proliferation of stickers to cleverly applied stencils to giant murals. In Graffiti Paris, Fabienne Grévy takes readers on a tour of Paris’s street art, and also discusses the variety of unique sources that inspire the artists, including the cave paintings at Lascaux, nineteenth-century Japanese blockprints, and comics.

Knowing the French government will never light up the eiffel tower in the colors of the Palestinian flag, a crew of French graffiti artists show solidarity with the Palestinians in their own way.

Antwan Horfee is a Paris-based artist who merges the raw energy of graffiti with a surreal, cartoon-inspired aesthetic reminiscent of Ralph Bakshi. Describing his creative process as rooted in “feeling,” Horfee’s work radiates an organic, spontaneous energy. Bold black lines fade into runny patches of purple paint and blurred surfaces. Strange, cartoonish figures take shape, only to transform into structures reminiscent of the human body’s inner workings. His art invites viewers into a space where the boundaries between the recognizable and the surreal converge, revealing a dynamic, ever-evolving interplay of form and emotion.

Ya'll remember this? It feels like lifetimes ago. Like some warped period all of us barely remembers.
