The Mask!


Another discovery of one of these embedded masks that you can find everywhere in Paris. Let me remind you that they are made by Gregos, an street artist who started posting white/blank faces about 3 years ago. He started introducing color at the beginning of 2009. I love them. I photographed this one at rue de Picardie in the 3rd arrondissement.

  1. Oh, the model looks malheureax. Maybe he just tasted Pied d'Eric, yesterday's wine!

  3. I like it! And I like Gregos' face—wonder if I would recognize him if I met him in person. :~}
    Missed yesterday, but just went back to see the post. Have to say re the owner: quelle moustache!!

  6. Interesting. The public seems to enjoy them. I hope the graffiti police are as appreciative.

  7. Did no one else think "Han Solo"? I guess that's what I get for living with a 9 year old expert on Star Wars. lol

    Do the circles with the line down the middle have a particular meaning? It is a very interesting piece!

  8. my friend had one completed for her husband's 50th Birthday and had it placed on Rue de Navarre in the 5eme (where their apartment is located) but alas, this year it is missing... I think people take them. Shame as they are always fun to see...

  11. a CPAP mask is usually designed to fit snugly for the contours of a face. there\'s simply no distinctive Mask feature in order to separate masks pertaining to men AND ALSO women; these masks fit many but these kind of Should become validated with regard to fit AND comfort before
