If you say that everyone's home decoration is an indispensable object, the carpet is definitely one of them, the carpet is both functional and decorative, a carpet with exquisite patterns can make a plain home environment shine at once, which is why most people will lay carpets at home.
Since a carpet can make a very big difference in a space, can it only be laid out in an indoor environment? Of course not, Arthur Louis Ignore, a street artist from France, "moved" the carpet to the street.
You may wish to close your eyes and imagine the scene on the street, whether it is a building, a tree, a crosswalk, and it suddenly appears in your mind. I dare not say anything else, but most people must be the same for the imagination of the street. Because, our city streets are like this, cookie-cutter, boring, nothing new.
Of course, there is a reason for such road planning, in order to minimize the distraction of drivers driving vehicles and pedestrians, safe driving, safe crossing the road. However, this inevitably makes people feel a little bored walking on the road, which is why street artist Arthur Louis Ignore painted carpet patterns on the main road.
Street art is less common in our country, but is more inclusive in some Western countries, where street artists are allowed to doodle on streets and building walls. Inspired by ancient decorative carpets, Arthur Louis Ignore used a box of white paint to leave white graffiti similar to carpet patterns in many streets and alleys, with exquisite, symmetrical and elegant patterns. Whether it's the sewer cover, the staircase, or the middle of the road, the artist's bold color combination makes the originally unnoticed street environment eye-catching.
The reason for creating this series of works, in addition to the beauty, the artist also wants to convey the concept that the population flow of the modern metropolis is too fast, making the city carry too much, and its art and culture are gradually submerged, hoping that people can slow down a little, or even stop, to pay attention to these cultural symbols.
Next, let's enjoy the exquisite carpet patterns laid out by the French street artist on the street.
