”FURAHA”

Posted on March 5, 2020March 5, 2020 by Seb Toussaint

“Furaha” is the swahili word for “happiness”.
The word was given to me by Brigitte, a Congolese refugee who I met and whose house I painted in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda.

Where would you go if you could travel tomorrow? I was asked this a couple of days ago, and still can't decide on an answer. I think it would have to be somewhere with walls that are nice and rough, exactly the opposite of the canvases I'm painting at the moment! I'm missing the slums, their irregular walls and their inhabitants. Where would you go? #onedayoftype #streetart #mural #E #type #painting #Mayotte #indianocean #slum #wall #letters #SebToussaint #arteurbano #letras #letterE

One painting, 2 languages. Acrylic on a 60x60 cm canvas. Available on @urban_signature 's online shop! . #art #artwork #arteurbano #contemporaryurbanart #contemporaryart #patterns #freedom #acrylic #letters #type #sebtoussaint #painting #canvas #artforsale

This painting is available on @urban_signature 's website. I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be working with Paris-based gallery Urban Signature! You'll find some of my work on their website and in their parisian showroom. I've turned down a few galleries these last couple of years, prefering to wait until I found the right people! So stay tuned! The word painted here is فرحة / Farah (happiness in Arabic). It's a word I painted on my second trip to Balata Refugee Camp in Palestine last September. The word was chosen by Yara.

"Spitting" spray paint on paper. 50x40 cm. This self-isolation period is giving me time to try out new things. These last few weeks I've been working on shading with relatively large drops of paint by making the paint "spit" out of the can unsmoothly (check the last 2 canvases). I do this by controlling the pressure to a certain point. I thought I'd create a piece using nothing but this technique, allowing the layers to blend. Contact me for sales. #artwork #spraypaint #love #letters #design #colours #SebToussaint
