L’Atlas: Croisements

From June 13th to August 25th it is possible to view a free exhibition of the Parisian artist Jules Dedet, aka L'Atlas, in which his urban art meets the 10th City Hall - Mairie - of Paris. L'Atlas started in the early 1990s with “writing”, he saw this practice as a free and pure gesture, close to calligraphy. In fact, shortly thereafter he became increasingly interested in the art of writing, thus coming to mix the spirits of the ancient art of calligraphy together with the contemporary art of graffiti, but also archeology and architecture; to then create, through hybrid art, what he defines as a universal language. The works of L'Atlas bring writing towards calligraphic and geometric abstraction, creating labyrinths, mirrors of the city. The artist, using scotch tape, creates even monumental works in which he plays with fullness and emptiness, with form and counter-form.

Exhibition: 13.06.24 – 25.08.24
