Grenoble Street Art Festival, Grenoble, France

My largest mural project to date. Over the course of three weeks, I painted a tryptic of murals across the façade of the science department at the University of Grenoble in France.  Two of these walls measured 15 x 7m and the third was 7x7m, all requiring boom lifts to access. It was a privilege to be given almost complete creative freedom on this enormous project. The university was drawn to my work as they wanted the murals to be visually interesting but also leave a lot of room for the imagination of the viewers.
