Muralism

Muralism: a term used to describe wall painting (indoors or outdoors) that differs from graffiti by the use of paint and brushes, rollers, paintbrushes, etc. Sébastien Bouchard, alone or in collaboration, takes over the walls of Nantes, his city first, then travels the world to create frescoes during events (residencies, festivals, commissions, etc.) but also during participatory live painting workshops or for individuals.
