French artist Philip Bodelok (Philippe Baudelocque) is one of those people who talk about "talent". Judge for yourself: having only a piece of chalk in his hands, he creates pictures of amazing beauty on the streets of the city, forcing passers-by, always in a hurry, to slow down. After all, it is simply impossible to pass indifferently past such amazing works!
The artist paints with white chalk on a black background, combining a huge number of textures and patterns in each image. Every one of Philip Bodelok's graffiti characters are representatives of the animal world. Fox, hippo, lion, cat, penguin … “All the animals that I draw are certain symbols. There is no hierarchy among them, they are all representatives of the natural world,”says the artist.
Many people are interested in the question: how long do Philip Bodelok's graffiti "live"? The author himself, unfortunately, does not say anything about this, however, experts from the Internet claim that if you cover such drawings with a special fixing aerosol, then you can extend their not particularly long life.
Philip Bodelok was born in France in 1974.
