LOOK AT THESE AMAZING WORKS BY A STREET ARTIST, AND TRY NOT TO SMILE ... - ACTUALITY

A street artist amazes with his works. Look at them, and you will never see your city the same way again!

The city, especially one's own, can become a monotonous and neglected theater of our passages, a background that we no longer look at and in which we are no longer interested. Yet there are people who manage, with their interventions, to amaze passers-by, to make them widen their eyes, smile or make them indignant. Graffiti artists, writers and various artists who work mainly outdoors often take on the task of making the streets and crossings interesting again. This is the case of Saint-Etienne, a town in south-eastern France, the remnant of an industrial pole that from some time he is witnessing the exploits and ironies of oakoak, a street artist who works in a surprising way.

The artist declared that his aim was to remove the greyness he had found in Saint-Etienne once he arrived: and so he began to "color" the banal landscape with elements that change the whole scenario. An overturned bin (true) becomes an ideal vase for a Christmas fir tree (made with spray cans), a broken (real) wall is magically smashed by the powerful kicks of a Bruce Lee (made of cardboard). Each intervention is surprising, makes you smile or at least makes you look twice : oakoak has thus achieved its purpose, to allow people to return to look at things with curiosity.
