For this year 2021, the famous artist Guillaume Bottazzi invites us to a gargantuan artistic journey with 25 works of art to discover in France as part of the European Heritage Days. The works presented criss-cross the country from north to south of France, from Lille, via Paris, Lyon, Marseille and Mandelieu... Seven of them are to be discovered in the Southern region, including five in the Bouches-du-Rhône and four in Marseille.
Guillaume Bottazzi has signed nearly 100 environmental and poetic works in public spaces and these three oil paintings are located boulevard de la Corderie, the trendy area of the city that offers the most beautiful view of the old port.
The observer is immersed in a floating and evanescent universe that seems to loosen itself from the rules of gravity. These paintings in raw linen canvas are made with ecological materials whose production is in France. The largest is 3 meters high.
These poetic creations lead us to travel in an unreal universe. They nourish the passerby by making him dream. They create a poetic, enchanting space that evolves according to our imagination. The imaginary is anterior to our perceptions and ideas, it will reveal them, allow us to build ourselves, strengthen ourselves, renew ourselves and reinvent ourselves.
