Street talent

Some street painters are really talented! Look at what I found at the end of the Pont d'Austerlitz. I think the  big brown cabinet shelters the electric wiring of traffic lights (there is a big crossing nearby with lots of traffic lights) and this painter - I think it's right to call him or her a painter!- used it beautifully. I thought it was a good way to start the week ;-) Update: thanks to a reader (Eugen Sitta), I now know who painted this: Christian Guémy aka C215.

  1. It has a wistful, moody quality to it. I like it.

  2. It's very well done. We have some street art like this in our small city, too, that decorates the covers of the stoplight terminals.

  3. Yes! I'd love to cover up all the ugly bits with great street art like this (and ban the no-talent taggers—just sayin').

  4. Amazing with all of the street art how I never, ever, ever see anybody actually doing it!
