Bureau des plaintes (Complaints Office) and others by French artist Levalet @levalet.art at Gare Saint-Lazare, 20 Rue de Rome, 8th Arrondissement, Paris, France in 2016 and 2019. Photos taken January 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
"With Ontogenèse, Levalet presents a triptych on the theme of travel, inviting the viewer to escape with a monumental work that reads almost like a comic strip. The artist first worked in his studio in Reims to create his Indian ink drawings and then his collages, before installing them in the station.

Since 2016, the artist Levalet has taken over the Paris Saint-Lazare train station, an ongoing collaboration between SNCF Gares & Connexions and Quai 36 to re-enchant the daily experience of travelers and station staff." translated from French - work in progress video (48s)

Salvador Dalí and Frida Kahlo by French artist Jo Di Bona @jodibona at 45 Boulevard Haussmann, Paris 9th arrondissement, Paris, France in July 2024. Photos taken January 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
"He transformed the gallery's windows for his exhibition "Jo Di Bona & Friends," where he exhibited paintings, of course, but also works by other street artists.
On the facade, you can recognize the portraits of:
- Salvador Dali (the first Marquis of Dalí de Púbol, born in Figueras on May 11, 1904, and died in the same city on January 23, 1989. He was a Catalan painter, sculptor, engraver, screenwriter, and writer of Spanish nationality. He is considered one of the main representatives of Surrealism and one of the most famous painters of the 20th century).
- Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), a Mexican painter influenced by various movements such as Realism and Symbolism. She was the wife of Diego Rivera, world-renowned for his murals. She was a feminist icon, a rebellious artist and a stereotype breaker."
(translated from French) - https://www.trompe-l-oeil.info/graffitis/details.php?image_id=40218
⠀⠀⠀
"I always work with aerosols and I paint exactly the same way on canvas or wall. I start with stylized urban lettering, with lots of codes from Graffiti, mixed with vintage lettering and posters of different faces that I paste on overlay. I then tear the posters apart to let the graffiti and the background reappear. And, like in Music, I sample around a lot to make my prod!" - 2016 interview - http://www.musiconwalls.com/blog/interview-with-jo-di-bona
