When art meet hotel

Calligraphy? A medieval practise? When friar were writing during hours to make a book. Not exactly, today you know it's better to speak about "Graffiti"... Even is it's wall and not books, it's made by hand!

Graffiti, do you mine the illegal fact to write something anywhere in the city? Yes, not everywhere, only the best place to be seen by more people possible. This practise appear in the 60 thank to the apparition of aerosol paint. (In fact I prefer to say that it exist since Lascaux caves (approximatly -16 000 before JC).



In fact that horrible criminal are in fact great creator and today graffiti is considerate to be art. (See the Agnes B gallery, or the last year "Tag" exibition in Grand Palais, Paris.
