Graffiti on Paris Walls – Unexpected Surprises
Graffiti full of free imaginative space in the renovation work in front of Cité de l'Industrie et de la Science at Villette.






In the concrete urban forest, orderly walls are neat and tidy, combined with various creative signs, expressing modern geometric aesthetics. However, under people's accustomed blindness, the concrete forest city slowly loses vitality. Occasionally discovering or encountering graffiti on walls in marginal areas gives a sense of accidental and unexpected freshness, expanding the vision and free imaginative space of urbanites. Of course, pleasing to the eye is like recharging, making flowers bloom in the heart; even if it hinders the urban landscape, it provides passersby with unexpected surprises in life. Before going out for vacation, in early August, I walked north of Paris towards Villette along the Ourcq Canal to visit the 104 Paris Cultural Center. Along the way, I encountered some unexpected surprises, which I share here with friends who like wall graffiti.
