With street art, Frontignan is transformed into an open-air gallery

It was at the beginning of this millennium that street art finally became an official art and local communities invited artists from all over the world to share their universe on city walls. Frontignan has not escaped this creative wave.

With the complicity of the Sois Sète Luas association, the City is launching in 2022. Murals are therefore flourishing throughout the town, becoming over the years an essential component of the urban landscape. From one fresco to another, a whole story is told to us, also reflecting the soul of its creator.

All roads lead to Frontignan

Impossible to miss, on the Caramus quay, the pink flamingo, the work of João Ribeiro, which sits in all its splendor on the wall of the premises of the Jousting Society, whose universe is recalled on the fresco by the presence of the boater. In addition to this nod to jousting, the theme also refers to the symbolism of the pink flamingo that Frontignan considers as his totem animal.

From the tradition anchored in the nutmeg city, we move on to that of Morocco, on the other side of the Mediterranean, with the fresco in the very particular light of Mohamed Roshdi, “A Moroccan fisherman†, who flirts between the realism and fantasy, with this half-human, half-fish face.

Dreamlike is the universe of the Italian Alessandra Carloni, who offers us with her fresco on canvas hanging on a wall, near the Aire room, her “Melody of travel†. Getting out of the gray, making others dream, marveling and taking a child’s look at the world are at the heart of his approach. Another Italian also took action, avenue du Général de Gaulle, carrying us away through the hair of a woman in the waves of the Mediterranean.

With them, Frontignan becomes an open-air art gallery inviting you to stroll around.
