Your itinerary
Step 1: Start of the course
To begin this route, we suggest you start from the community of communes of the estuary.
Step 2: 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 3: 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 4: 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 5: Second PEC work
Turn right towards the campsite. Arriving at the entrance to the municipal campsite, find one of the three PEC works that you have already found in the village hall.
Step 6: Return to starting point
Return to the starting point, to the community of communes.
