Sentier Street Art de Saint-Androny à Val-de-Livenne

Step 2: Kashink's work

A few steps from the starting point, you can admire Kashink's work on the school wall.
Kaskink draws its inspiration from the tradition of masks, which takes us back to a form of human transcendence. This tradition exists in all continents of the world, in Europe for carnivals, in Asia for opera, theater or folk festivals. In Africa, masks are used to accompany rituals or ceremonies, the same is true in many ancestral cultural traditions. The mask is a metaphor, it serves both to hide the face of the person wearing it, but also to reveal it, allowing us to question social codes, to create a link to the invisible. Makeup is also a way of creating this connection.
For this project, draws inspiration from these traditions to create enigmatic and colorful portraits, full of life.

Step 3: JERK 45 Artwork

Next stop, retrace your steps towards the town hall, to discover the work of Jerk 45.
Jerk 45's compositions immerse us in a phantasmagorical world populated by chimeras and ghosts from the past. His retro imagery, made of collages from old magazines and scraps of collected posters, blends with a surrealist visual language. Upon closer inspection, Jerk is not far from the sustainable development activist, recycling his photographs found at flea markets onto his canvases. The result is a vast artistic bric-a-brac, a hybrid work of outrageous coherence.

Step 4: Rust Work

Next stop is Le Pontet, to discover the work of La Rouille. You can park in the car park of the Salle des Fêtes.
La rouille, born in 1981 in Chambéry, lives in France. Self-taught, La rouille discovered painting during urban explorations. Attracted by the particular atmospheres emanating from these urban spaces abandoned by man, his approach focuses on deteriorations linked to history and time, both material and memorial.

Step 5: Work by Thomas Cheronnet

Self-taught without diktat, born in 1961, 3 children, Thomas Cheronnet defines himself as a teacher/plouk/[tablo] manufacturer and [photographer]. Series, nested characters, words, a graphic questioning sometimes poetic, humorous, crazy, automatic… A search for identity, small fragments of reconstituted life, memories, aspirations, moments of happiness traced on rectangles of paper stuck on corrugated cardboard ([tablo] holder-[manto]) or on XXL canvases. A work like a travel diary of proximity, spontaneous. Lover of nature, the Pyrenees, the estuary, he currently lives in Cartelègue, in Gironde near Blaye in the school where he practiced his profession as a teacher in a rural environment. Regularly, he "goes down" to Béarn and "goes up" to Vendée.

Step 6: Dawal's work

Head to the Etauliers city stadium for the next stage where we find Bault's work.
Born in Rodez, Bault retained from his rural childhood a precise knowledge of plant architecture and entomological anatomies, which he combines with a consummate art of grafting.
Bault studied at the Beaux-Arts in Avignon and then at the Decorative Arts in Strasbourg. In addition to graffiti, which he has been practicing since 1997, he experimented with video art, graphic design, and illustration, disciplines that he would later practice for many years.
A modern primitive, Bault produces a universe populated by chimerical creatures where animals, humans, machines and plants marry and mix in a wedding of saturated colors. Each creation is a space of technical and plastic crossbreeding born from a painting of urgency, in automatic writing. Celebrating cave painting, his magical creatures question the subconscious of our changing era. His dreamlike universe with post-modern surrealism quickly establishes him among the most original street artists. From the walls of Paris, his creatures reach those of other cities and continents, through journeys rich in encounters and aesthetic shocks. The acuity and irony demonstrated by these works are the plastic translation of a sharp look at the questions and emergencies that agitate contemporary societies and their environment.

Step 9: Artwork by Nadège Dauvergne

For the next stage, we will meet you at the Reignac village hall, to observe the work of Nadège DAUVERGNE.
Nadège Dauvergne was born in 1973 in Ouagadougou, then grew up in the suburbs of Paris. After studying graphic arts and then fine arts, she moved to Picardy, in the Oise, where she has lived since 1998.
Very quickly, she mastered many techniques, from oil painting to spray paint. But her choice would crystallize around a way of drawing, which she discovered due to a lack of colors: optical mixing. Combining the rigor of drawing and chromatic knowledge, each work created in this way, on a small or large format, is a real feat. This technique that she developed, she approaches it through a succession of colored hatchings that end up combining in the eye of the spectator, offering several levels of reading. From afar, a vibrant and luminous color can be observed and it is by getting closer to the detail that the palette divides to reveal each color that composes it. Nadège Dauvergne's drawings are a tangle of periods and touches, a weaving of stories that speaks to us about time, the time it takes for a work to be made, for itself and in its lineage.

Step 10: Artwork by Léa Héraud BELLAN

Let's continue a little further, to the Marcillac school, where you will find the work of Léa HERAUD.
A muralist and poet based in Bordeaux, Léa Héraud-Bellan has been developing a graphic language for several years that she calls meanders, which explores the balance between control and letting go, between abstraction and narration. This language has gradually unfolded on walls, giant formats, and shared spaces. Each fresco is an invitation to wander and contemplate poetic landscapes with bright colors and soft lines. In parallel, she leads a more textual practice: poetic collages made of words cut from forgotten magazines and newspapers. From these fragments are born hybrid texts, somewhere between collage, poetry, and dreams, where new mythologies emerge. Her writing, whether graphic or textual, explores time, night, movement, nature, space, and the traces that humans leave there.

Stage 11: Artwork by Charles Foussard and end of the route

For the final stage, we meet at the Marcillac distillery in Val de Livenne to discover the works of Charles Foussard.
Charles Foussard is an iconoclastic artist, a figurative and abstract street artist. With his feet in the sand since his earliest childhood spent between Réunion Island and Bordeaux, Charles Foussard draws inspiration from Nature's most beautiful offerings: the unexpected, the spectacular, the energy, and the exuberance of forms and colors. The desire to transcribe this vision of the world, enriched by numerous travels, arose in the 2000s when the bunkers on the Landes beaches caught his discerning eye as a graffiti artist. The immediate spark led him to a completely different style, far removed from the graffiti conventions that had defined his adolescence. Shimmering, intriguingly fluid, mineral and organic, his surreal compositions stand out and quickly captivated social media, propelling him into the spotlight. This self-taught artist was awarded the Grand Prix Bernard Magrez in 2016. While his compositions still feature lush vegetation and undulating reefs, Charles Foussard does not exclude the human presence, identified by affable-looking figures he calls "Pépouzes." They represent human action, or even inaction, and become allegories of the human condition.
