Next time you’re strolling along the streets of Paris, keep your eyes peeled for a face sticking out from behind the walls. Quite often, you’ll see the visage painted in various colours, wearing a smile or with a tongue sticking out.
Gregos – near Place Dalida
It’s not the statue of Le Passe-Muraille, the man who can walk through walls, but the lifelike face of Gregos, the artist behind this form of graffiti come street art.
The faces are glued to walls or structures and depict the moods of the artist. According to his website, there are more than 220 faces in Paris alone, so keep an eye out for this collection.
Gregos – near blvd st-germain
The two faces shown in the photographs above were spotted in different locations in Paris. The colourful face was seen near boulevard saint-germain while the ‘hard as steel’ face peered from behind a wall in Montmartre, near Place Dalida.
What a very cool idea! I think I am gonna plaster my mug around town this coming weekend… 🙂
Great way to get noticed! 🙂
How cool is that! And great idea to become known around Paris!
Very clever, and artistic at the same time!
fun. I’ve seen the one on montmartre…but i didn’t realize there were so many more pasted around town. Will keep my eyes open for more!
I didn’t know they were everywhere until I saw the website. Definitely worth the hunt next time I’m in Paris!
This is so cool. I must look closer when I walk around!!
Paris is full of surprises, isn’t it… 🙂
Now this is interesting, & more than a bit creative, how did I miss these? Have to lift my head out of the pastry windows next time we hit Paris, lovely!
Ahh… you’ve nailed it! There are so many distractions in Paris, it’s hard to keep an eye on everything!
Would be fun to go on a hunt for them all!
Yes! Another photo project to do in Paris. As if my obsession with metro stations isn’t enough 🙂
What a quirky and fun thing to do! I will definitely keep my eyes open for more next time I’m in Paris. 🙂
They can be so lifelike, so watch out! 🙂
