Not only in Russian cities, but also in European ones, there are many disadvantages associated with the deterioration of infrastructure, aging buildings and other similar pernicious processes. But if our authorities and people try not to pay attention to it at all, then in France, for example, such elements, on the contrary, stick out in the foreground. The street artist also does this. OakOak.
The Saint-Etienne artist OakOak is very fond of his locality and does everything in his power to turn even the shortcomings of his city into its merits. Including, and for the sake of this, he took up street painting. The artist finds all sorts of unusual, outstanding elements in the streets and transforms them into works of art.
OakOak even has a series of works, in the preparation of which the artist paid close attention to all kinds of cracks, breakages, destruction and peeling, of which there are a lot on the streets of any city.
These are the elements OakOak used as the basis for his work. After all, one has only to connect imagination to the matter, and the paint peeling on the wall can turn into smoke emitted by a factory painted right there, sprinkled with plaster - the body of a seal playing with a ball, a crack going through the parapet - the outline of the dunes with a caravan walking along them, broken off the element of the lattice is a break, thanks to which the man depicted by the artist escaped from a fictional prison.
“I love my city, its atmosphere, and therefore I would like it to look better. Previously, it was an industrial settlement with many coal mines, but now it is undergoing a renovation process, changing its essence. And even if we are still not rich, we still deserve to live in a beautiful environment. This is what I am doing,”- this is how the artist OakOak explains the reasons that prompted him to do this kind of work.
