Jules Ferry - Châteauroux, Centre Val de Loire, France - Murals on Waymarking.com

[FR] "Le graffeur Cher1 lui a fait le portrait sur le mur d’un bâtiment proche de l’école qui porte son nom à Beaulieu. D’autres réalisations aussi monumentales suivront.

« Il y a quinze ou vingt ans, la police serait venue voir ce que nous sommes en train de faire. Aujourd’hui, le graffiti a trouvé sa place dans la cité et dans les pratiques culturelles. » Ainsi parlait Arnaud Chéron, oui Cher1 (Cher One), en septembre dernier, lorsqu’il animait les ateliers de graffiti proposés près de la chapelle des Rédemptoristes. Son constat est encore plus vrai aujourd’hui qu’il y a sept mois, car c’est carrément la municipalité qui lui a commandé le travail qui vient d’être réalisé et qui représente Jules Ferry.

« Le prochain chantier sera celui de la rue Victor-Hugo »"

[EN] "Graffiti artist Cher1 painted his portrait on the wall of a building near the school that bears his name in Beaulieu. Other equally monumental works were to follow.

"Fifteen or twenty years ago, the police would have come to see what we were doing. Today, graffiti has found its place in the city and in cultural practices." So spoke Arnaud Chéron, yes Cher1 (Cher One), last September, when he led the graffiti workshops offered near the Chapelle des Rédemptoristes. His observation is even truer today than it was seven months ago, since it was the municipality that commissioned him to do the work that has just been completed, depicting Jules Ferry.

"The next job will be on rue Victor-Hugo"."
