After having represented the distress of restaurateurs and cultural players in Toulouse, the graffiti artist Loïc L. has recently drawn the escheat and abandonment experienced by people in the street. “At the start I wanted to do this graffiti at the Pont des Demoiselles where a lot of tents are set up,” he explains. And then to broaden the subject, I chose the edge of the canal near the Municipal Greenhouses ”.
This graffiti artist who, since adolescence, has immersed himself in graffiti and stencils, which has become his identity, likes to focus on current events. “A way to get people thinking,” he said. Thus, at the time of the American elections, it was ex-President Obama that he chose to represent on a wall behind the station. While, some time later, the Covid came to decorate one of the faces of the José-Cabanis Media Library. Currently, he is preparing an exhibition at Citron Bleu rue des Polinaires: “The room closed to the show is transformed into an exhibition and sales room. A way to survive for everyone ”.
