Painted in 2 weeks, on wooden panels, it was assembled in a fresco of 30m ² which comes to dress the main wall of the harbour master’s office of the city. It will be inaugurated on Saturday, November 20 on the port of Wambrechies in the presence of the artist and Sebastien Brogniart, mayor of the city. It is in the port of Wambrechies, his home town, that Amaury Dubois has put down bombs and brushes to paint his latest street art fresco. This work of 30m ² comes to dress with colors and curves the main wall of the harbor master’s office. The artist wanted to offer his territory an original artwork, symbolizing his attachment to the city.

 

“I live in Wambrechies, I love this city, it is the cradle of all my works. I wanted to mark this territory, the epicenter of my achievements. This fresco is for me like a totem that symbolizes my ground of creation and inspiration.” Amaury Dubois, contemporary painter.
