It is my lot, my destiny. Soon 30 years that I have been part of the landscape, at the foot of the Croix-Rousse hill, with my back to the Quai Saint-Vincent. Progress has slipped into the skin of the Fresque des Lyonnais.At the time, in the early 90s, the mayor of the city, Michel Noir, saw a fresco in Barcelona, The Balcony of the Catalans. He was impressed and wanted the equivalent. This long street was chosen, and my mission was to \"punctuate it with a point of interest.The company Cité Création is taking on the task. At 2, rue de la Martinière, on two blind walls, I am painted. 800 to 1,000 kg of paint and more than 1,000 shades are needed. For a month, three people are assigned to the project, in conjunction with a steering committee. Based on their sketch, 10 artists shape me for 5 months.\"","author_name":"st4nc4","author_url":"https://streetartcities.com/users/b434c9b1-64d1-49d2-b631-d3151234247a","thumbnail_url":"https://streetartcities.com/media/f/f9241550-7844-4f4c-81f7-297d9ce11be1/1024.jpg","thumbnail_width":1024,"width":480,"height":480,"html":"","cache_age":3600}
