Urban Art Series - Finding Nemo!

So let's start a mini series again. Street art in Paris can be found in every neighborhood. NOT to be confused with tagging, which I despise, but the creative endeavors of many street artists who do their work, I assume, in the dark of night. I'll share some of my favorites in the days to come.

Today, Nemo. His work is distinctive,  featuring the silhouette of a man with recurring rouge umbrellas and balloons. With my Paris Rouge obsession, I"ve enjoyed finding Nemo all over Paris. 

Bonjour Chat!

Ohhhh, I love this image of Eva captured during our three weeks in Paris, 2009. We passed this street art by Nemo, every single day, going to and from the Censier Daubenton métro. During our time in  Paris, Eve kept a running count of the cats she spotted in Paris. Maybe she included this one!

It's no secret that I abhor the senseless tagging found all around Paris and all of our cities as well. That said, I love the real Paris street artists like Nemo. His work always makes me smile.

Nemo Was Here Again!

I love, love, love it when I get emails from readers and yesterday I heard from Jennifer who was inquiring about a photo I'd posted by Paris street artist Nemo.  She is going to Paris in July and wanted to find it for herself!  I sent her more details, but while I was searching, I found this one of my Eva on what might have been the first day we were in Paris in May, 2009, having a closer look at a Paris chat.  That led to an ongoing count of all the "real" Paris chats she and Davis found each day!

Paris Rouge LVIII - Nemo Was Here

Tagging and senseless graffiti makes my head spin, but I will admit that Nemo's stenciled street art often catches my eye.( Could it be his use of ROUGE?)  I loved this Marais café wall.
