"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 passersby and the speed of urban travel. Inspired by the movement of crowds, the fresco reflects the chaotic dynamics of rush hour, where faces are lost in the crowd and everyone follows their own path without paying attention to their surroundings. Rush hour thus becomes a veritable game of Tetris that Parisians play daily.

A Project Requiring Careful Preparation

Before the mural was installed, the hotel's facade underwent a complete renovation. The old metal sign from the previous establishment, "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.
