Are you a fan of street art? Do you like Seth 's work? If so, the following might interest you! The City of Paris is inviting Parisians to vote for the future mural to be created in the Belleville district.
Conceived as part of the " Art and culture in the streets of the 11th arrondissement " project, voted for in the Participatory Budget, this large-scale fresco will soon cover the gable wall of 51 boulevard de Belleville, in eastern Paris. A district regularly taken over by numerous street artists. Rue Dénoyez, Belleville's street art mecca, springs to mind.
Expected in spring 2025, this new mural in the Belleville district will pay tribute to " the diversity of the neighborhood's populations in a colorful aesthetic ". The famous and talented Seth will have the honor of giving birth to this work. The artist, known for his poetic and engaging paintings of faceless children, has produced three sketches for the occasion. The three sketches will be put to the vote by Monday, December 23, 2024. At the end of the vote, the fresco with the most votes will see the light of day at N°51 boulevard de Belleville next spring.
While the first sketch features children going about their business in colorful squares, the second depicts children, " from different backgrounds and cultures ", coming together to build a living tower. Finally, the third and last sketch reveals a young child building a Tower of Babel in the image of the Belleville district.
So, what's your favorite? Vote now (and before December 23) for your favorite mural by Seth!
