Tribute

Posted on December 6, 2015 by Seb Toussaint

The 2 sons living in this house wanted us to paint the name of their mother on the front of their house. “Wassen” died 10 years ago at the age of 42.

Mute 1. Acrylic on a 40x40cm canvas. No words this time, only patterns. Available on my online shop (link in my bio). Some patterns I get from travelling and spending time looking at architecture or local fashion. But I also like to create my own from scratch like the "flying pyramids" (on the left of the canvas), or "Thor's thunder" (in the middle). Here I wanted to bring these patterns forwards and on a small canvas, and this meant leaving out letters and keeping things simple. #SebToussaint #painting #canvas #arteurbano #contemporaryart #Contemporaryurbanart #urbanart #art #arte #design #patterns #colour #acrylic #paint #lienzo

Armani, a 10 year old boy from the Roma slum in Nanterre, chose the word "Marie". It's the name of a local teacher who comes into the slum 3 times a week to teach basic reading and writing to kids who don't go to school. For many kids she is the only person from outside the slum with who they have interaction. Marie saw the mural on the day after I painted this and was both very surprised and moved by Armani's choice. . #Nanterre #France #Roma #RomaPeople #Romani #Gypsies #Gitans #Gitanos #streetart #graffiti #mural #patterns #ShareTheWordProject #SebToussaint #design #urbanart #contemporaryart #arteurbano #arte #marie #education #slums #PlasNanterre #streetartparis
