Info

To enhance the palisades of the Eole worksite at Porte Maillot, the Eole project has solicited the work of Parisian artists. Plastic artist and painter Philippe Tourriol invited Studio Briand&Berthereau to join him in creating a work of art. A moment of grace in a hectic urban atmosphere, this creation features plant motifs designed by Philippe Tourriol, taken from specific plants from the Paris region. At the heart of this changing rondabout, the posters that punctuate the palisade can be seen in motion, while walking or driving. Their shapes and graphic compositions, co-designed by Studio Briand&Berthereau and Philippe Tourriol, echo the tracks of the amusement rides hosted by Place Maillot’s Luna Park, a huge 20th-century funfair. The work reveals a chromatic circle inspired by the colors of the Impressionist painters, who followed the route of the future RER line E before setting up their easels on the banks of the Seine and using their pigments, encapsulated in newly invented tubes that enabled them to create outside the studio. The creations that emerge from this life-size canvas play on historical references and artistic genres to evoke transition and elsewhere.
