Je suis... Paris

Je suis... Paris

It was a different trip to Paris

My thoughts and prayers

are with the people of Paris (and Beyond)

Robert Combas - Rue des Haudriettes

Robert Combas

A French artist born in Lyon in 1957, he has exhibited in France and New York City.

This painting was created in 2000 and is titled,   

La femme lumière de l’homme

From a statement on his website, his art is meant to...

 “provoke, that is, to trigger a reaction in the spectator 

only to ‘invite’ him, beckoning him in 

and whispering in his ear ‘come over and talk to me, 

I want to tell you about the stupidity, violence, beauty,  

love, hatred, seriousness and fun, the logic 

and senselessness that pervade our day-to-day lives’ ”.

Belleville - Rue Dénoyez

Rue Dénoyez - graffiti street

This street of abandoned buildings and closed shops 

has been transformed as a palette for graffiti artists, 

welcomed by the Belleville community 

and supported by nearby stores, cafés, and markets.

Each time you visit this street, the canvas will have changed,

 and you might find one of these artists at work.
