fresque monumentale de Charles Gianferrari

The monumental fresco by Charles Gianferrari covers the side of the building with a dense, colorful scene of figures and architectural shapes. It belongs to a wave of mural projects commissioned in the nineteen eighties to bring large-scale art into the daily landscape of the eighteen arrondissement. Gianferrari filled the wall with his signature style, where faces and structures blend into one another. He worked on the design for months, ensuring the composition held its own against the sharp, industrial angles of the architecture.
