Street Art Rue de la Mare

A wall covered in layers of spray paint, wheat-pasted posters, and jagged stencils marks the transition from the pavement of Rue de la Mare to the local neighborhood landscape. These walls serve as a rotating canvas for street artists who claim the concrete before it gets cleaned away or painted over. In nineteen eighty-four, the artist Jerome Mesnager helped spark this tradition by painting his iconic white figure here. He left his mark, and others followed, turning the street into a living gallery.
