"Peak hour"
In December 2021, Arthur Chazeau has unveiled "Heure de Pointe", an ephemeral fresco painted on the facade of the Hôtel Le Petit Beaumarchais , located at 8 boulevard Beaumarchais, near the Bastille in Paris.
A Work Capturing Urban Energy
This artistic creation illustrates the incessant flow of passers-by and the speed of travel in an urban environment. Inspired by crowd movements, the fresco reflects the chaotic dynamics of rush hour, where faces are lost in the crowd and everyone traces their route without paying attention to their surroundings. Rush hour then becomes a real game of Tetris that Parisians play daily.
A Project Requiring Careful Preparation
Before the mural was installed, the hotel's façade underwent a complete renovation. The old metal sign from the previous property, "The Original," was removed, the holes filled, and the structure repainted. Wooden panels were then painted white to serve as a canvas for the artwork.
