You can go to Paris to visit the Louvre, see the Eiffel Tower or just walk along the romantic streets and avenues, but do not forget that the capital of France is also a center of contemporary art. Some of the images on ordinary shabby walls may not be just the work of famous artists, these drawings can be fabulous - as is the case with the graffiti of Charles Leval.
Charles Leval, known as Levalet, is a kind of French analogue of Banksy. His works are often devoted to acute social topics or somehow play up the problems of the modern world. Most often, Levalet creates his works in black and white, although in the last year there have been several works done in color. The artist's favorite technique is to include in his work the architectural details of the city, be it an electrical panel, a pole, a door, or a fountain in the form of a lion's head. Such works immediately attract the attention of passers-by - they are graceful, ironic and stand out against the background of empty walls.
Some of this artist's previous work can be seen in our review "Smart Street Art in Paris"
