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... Nine of them are to be discovered in Ile-de-France, 7 in Greater Paris and 2 in Paris.
Guillaume Bottazzi has signed nearly 100 environmental and poetic works in public spaces. He has just realized this polyptych which marks the cathedral entrance of the new student residence Georges Méliès in Montreuil. This work of more than 2 meters high is carried out with enamels. This ecological material is a natural material reduced to powder which is composed of different minerals. Visible to the passerby from the avenue Faidherbe, this painting is part of the heritage of Greater Paris.
This poetic creation induces us to travel in an unreal universe. It nourishes the passerby by by making him dream. It creates 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.
