Street art is a unique form of art as it is often an expression of someone’s opinion or reaction to ongoing events. It is also different from traditional painting because the environment has to be part of the art and the artwork cannot usually be transported from one gallery to another.
Usually when we think of street art we imagine a wall or the ground as the canvas for expression. But French street artist Clet Abraham, who is based in Florence, Italy, chose to join his art with street signs and the results are quite interesting.

EVOLUTION / INVOLUTION
It is strange, but looking at the three people of this image, the one that seems to me the least human of all it’s the one in the middle.

I CAN’T BREATHE
Once again, a human being has died under the weight of authority. “non mi uccise la morte ma due guardie bigotte, mi cercarono l’anima a forza di botte” (De André)

As expected, the “strange animals” passed at the roundabout at La Carrière (Cap-Sizun, Brittany) and destroyed my character 2 days after it was edited.
I call it, “CAREER SYNDROME”:
If to a directional arrow I add two arms that point in the same direction, objectively I reinforce its safety message.
So when a public service employee destroys this work, there is no longer any consideration of public safety but only respect for orders.
So there is no longer a real public service but above all a service to one’s own quarry.
And this with the taxpayer’s money.
I would like to work for a better world and demonstrate through my work that claiming absolute respect for standards is the first obstacle to improving them ….. and therefore the first obstacle against a better world.
Democracy is not going to vote, it is on the other hand the freedom to criticize and to express this criticism, at all levels of society.
Particularly for civil servants, the duty of reserve and obedience to orders is a formidable obstacle to the improvement of society.
And I am amazed at the acceptance of this fact by society itself.

Today, working on the street in Oslo, someone asked me:
-Is it legal what you’re doing?
-This is not the good question I said, but rather: is it good or bad what you are doing?
Then he told me: -okay, but what does this design mean?
– it means that it should be forbidden to die in the Mediterranean sea just because you try to escape poverty or war.
I agree he says, but as long as there is misery and oppression somewhere in the world there will be those who try to escape, and we are all responsible even if this poverty seems far away.
Welcome to Oslo!

It’s vacation time!
I would love so much that all the authority obsessed, the psycho-rigid, the law-obtuse and the maniac of order would take a lot of time to rest well and why not, to do some gardening.
Perhaps contact with the beauty and bounty of nature could awaken in them more love and empathy for the others …

True gaming enthusiasts prefer to lose, like that the desire and pleasure to play is always there.
In fact, my condemnation by Italian justice to pay more than 10000 euros for sculpture of the “common man” is very stimulating.
I’ve had some interesting ideas about it and after summer I’ll talk to you, the common man never dies!
This photo was taken last April in the beautiful city of Hamburg (you have certainly recognized it) where the allocation of car parks to citizens goes by playing at Rock, Paper, Scissors.

World Day Against Death Penalty…… Kill someone to teach others not to kill !! But is it possible to be more cruel and stupid than that? The death penalty, in fact, has never prevented crime but rather serves to terrorize people in order to better subdue them.
In 1786 the Grand Duke of Tuscany abolished the death penalty for the first time in history. And it is precisely for this humanistic culture that I am pleased to have my studio in Florence, more than for its old stones.
