STREET ART WORK GRENOBLE
Ambre and Miruna
-
We decided to choose the street art called "La fille du printemps" by RNST.
-
It was made for the Grenoble Street Art Fest of 2017, on a parking wall.
-
It represents a teenage girl, wearing a pink mask and a khaki sweater. Her hair is gathered into two pigtails, and she wears flowers with skulls instead of anthers in her hair. She's looking at us with a mean look.
-
Next to her, there is a sentence which says "Que se dressent les printemps révolutionaires". It refers to the teenage years, when we want to try new things, to challenge parental authority and to break the rules.
-
The girl is wearing a mask due to the fact that the artist RNST didn't protect himself when he used the spray paint cans, which are very toxic. Now, he is suffering from nose cancer, and draws all of his characters with masks.
