Paste Up
Paste-up is an urban art practice adopted by Sébastien Bouchard over the past ten years. For the artist, it complements muralism, creating exclusively original works in his Nantes studio: his paintings on very lightweight paper are then quickly pasted in public spaces. These are often portraits, sometimes revisited, ephemeral works accessible to all, and can be found on walls across different continents (Europe, Africa, the United States).
