Philippe Baudelocque

Animal street murals

These street murals of various animals are drawn in chalks and oil pastels. The use of these impermanent materials and the surfaces he uses them on create a similar feel to some native american art, specifically paintings done on cliff sides or in caves.
The combination of smooth, modern shapes and the age-old materials and subjects create an image that is very much a fusion of old and new, creating a bridge between the modern and the ancient. It is this connection that I am wanting to show in my work.
Baudelocque creates this primarily through his use of material and process, therefore I will experiment with various materials that could emulate native american art, which i could then apply to my own work.
