Giant Graffiti | The Dam of France

Image
The French duo graffiti artists Ella & Pitr is known for the size of their works. The Duo's most recent graphite is called Le Naufrage de Bienvenu , or "The Shipwreck of the Well-Vindos." It was made 47 meters high in a dam on the river Gier, and required ten days of work. Known for portraying neglected groups such as the homeless or the elderly, and paints them in difficult proportions to ignore, this time the two decided to address refugees seeking a better life in Europe. The character holds a photograph in his hand, just the sight of the dam where Ella and Pitr [Instagram] did the drawing.
