Three aerial paintings by Guillaume Bottazzi in Marseille in the Corderie district
Guillaume Bottazzi has signed more than 100 environmental and poetic works in public spaces, notably in Europe, China, the United States, Japan and Europe. These three oils on raw linen fabric immerse the observer in a universe both floating and evanescent.
They are located boulevard de la Corderie, in the trendy district of the city which offers a better view of the old port. The observer is immersed in a poetic universe that seems to be loosening the rules of gravity.
The largest of the three paintings is 3 meters high. The support is raw linen canvas, an ecological material that the artist highlights.
These poetic creations lead us to dream. They create a poetic, enchanting space that evolves according to our imagination.
