Step 1: Goddog's Artwork
A few steps from the starting point, you can admire Goddog's work on the rural animation center.
Damien Mauro known as GoddoG has always been keen to nourish his curiosity and open-mindedness.
Self-taught, his passions for architecture, nature, literature as well as his passion for sharing fuel and enrich his art made of movements, and his daily life anchored in encounters.
For more than 15 years – Damien aka GoddoG – has devoted himself to painting through abstraction. Rigorous, this discipline allows him to refine his artistic trajectory made of curves, lines, softness and rupture in order to bring the public to greater attention and contemplation. His work develops around the link and the fracture, creating direct contact with the public. GoddoG plays with the shackles. The movement of his paintings embodies a spontaneity accessible to all. His mixed technique and the mastery of his gesture allow him to create works with accomplished plays of textures, to gain effects and give substance to certain figurative elements. His universe is dreamlike and leads us both to calming the mind and to interaction.
Then, head to the party room.
Step 2: First PEC work
Arriving in the city center, at the village hall, discover one of PEC’s works.
PEC has always drawn at school and it was quite natural that he started graffiti in 1989 in his hometown of Lyon.
He developed his art through his nights out and his experiences. Constantly questioning himself to find his style in line with the urban environment. His all-consuming passion led him to paint and hold exhibitions in Paris, Bangkok, London, Mexico, Barcelona, Ibiza, Colombia, etc. PEC is above all an artist who uses the city as a gallery where his colorful works brighten up the daily lives of the inhabitants. Using a multitude of techniques and supports, PEC never ceases to surprise you at the corner of a street, a highway...
Continue your route towards Blaye until the roundabout at the Braud exit.
Step 3: Red Work
Arriving at the roundabout, it is on one of the walls of the old medical office that we find Rouge's work.
In 2014, Rouge chose a name that she wanted to be close to her street work: common, appropriable, multiple. In Rouge's practice there is the idea that an image is precious, and that making one of quality, that is to say thick in narration, in pictorial generosity and in poetry, is is a rare celebration to which she likes to devote time, and whose conception is forged through contact and exploration of its surroundings. Convinced by an accessible art caught in the fabric of the world, she has worked since her beginnings through collage or frescoes in the city, alongside rigorous studio practice. The wall, the neighborhood, like the canvas and the paper offer him the opportunity for figurations that are never symbolic but always narrative. His compositions offer a tension towards the manifesto, the fable or the poem, with attention to framing inherited from video, and always animated by the pleasure of painting in itself.
To continue the circuit, head towards the power station.
Step 4: Work of LLOEIL
To continue the circuit, head towards the power station at the roundabout then after 3km, turn right and follow the direction of Terres d'Oiseaux. At the port, head towards the parking lot at the foot of the panoramic tower. You will find Lloeil's work on one of the surrounding buildings.
A fan of graphic design and solid colors, gradient colors or visual frames made of lines or points, rhythm is the conductor and the very essence of Loeil's compositions and work.
After a period of plastic research on canvas working in series on identical formats with stages of saturation by stratum stopped at different times in the production process, he purifies his productions and now intends to move towards the minimal and the essential by using its gimmicks* of achievements and by highlighting games of depth and radiance.
Step 5: ALBER's work
Take the road again towards Saint-Ciers sur Gironde. Arriving at the stop sign, turn right towards the city center. You will find Alber's work at the bend of an alley opposite the town hall.
For several years, walls in France and elsewhere have been covered with a face, imagined and created by Alber.
Alber gradually detaches himself from the codes of graffiti in search of a more personal expression. From graffiti, it retains the fluidity of the gesture which traces lines and runs on the surface, but the lines and shapes come together in a figurative representation. The application of spray paint gives relief and light to these assemblages revealing a face of disproportionate proportions, a fixed blue gaze under heavy eyelids. This character becomes the signature of Alber who, from graffiti artist to street artist, preserving his freedom to paint where he wants, when he wants.
Step 6: Work by Stéphane CARRICONDO
Linked to a creative process that he seeks to be free and spontaneous, Stéphane CARRICONDO's work echoes the powerful forms of primitive art in its broadest definition. Focusing on the energies that build our relationships with the World and with the Other, his spirituality, readable beneath his lines, undoubtedly evokes his primordial need to deal with laws
universal: we are all beings of vibratory energy, which vibrates and moves freely. His art is the work of an introspective feeling that he considers necessary. Observer of a society increasingly detached from the values of sharing, union and exchange, his plastic vocation is of the order of a practice essential to the mental balance of our distracted and polluted brains.
Step 7: Work of Ador
Ador, a famous French artist with an overflowing imagination, ingeniously combines contemporary art and social criticism through his whimsical murals. Having become a master of satirical art with a perfectly identifiable figurative and caricatural style, the latter's aim is to tell stories based on drawing, displayed on canvas, paper, walls, and in volume. Whether it involves investing public space or a cabinet of curiosities, the research consists of communicating, by staging characters or objects that have been identified and that become recurrent. These images are organized differently to leave room for interpretation and reading direction. From the vocabulary of the circus or childhood, tales or current events, like parades, these joyful universes parade and present events that are ordered as best they can.
Step 8: Return to starting point
Return to the community of communes by taking the direction of Braud-et-Saint-Louis.
