César Malfi invites Eric Garence and Robert Roux.
Eric Garence, originally from Nice, began his artistic career as a poster artist, attracting attention with his visually captivating and innovative creations. His rebellious creative spirit led him to explore new artistic horizons, propelling him towards the dynamic world of street art. In contact with César Malfi, he discovered the power of walls as a medium for artistic expression and created alongside him works that are now among the essentials of Côte d'Azur art.
In Nice, Eric transformed urban walls into living canvases, skillfully blending the spontaneity of street art with the precision of his poster skills. His work is distinguished by bold compositions, vibrant colors and subtle messages that challenge the viewer. Eric Garence thus embodies the unique fusion between traditional graphic design and the provocative energy of street art, leaving an indelible artistic imprint on the sunny streets of Nice.
Robert Roux, Deputy Mayor for Culture, embodies a dedicated passion for art in all its forms. In addition to his political role, he is an artist himself, contributing to the cultural wealth of the city. However, it is his unwavering commitment to the democratization of street art that sets him apart. As a fervent defender of urban artistic expression, he has played a key role in the integration of street art into the public space of Nice. He met César when he was still a young street artist in search of an artistic identity and would play an important role in his personal and professional journey.
Robert Roux works tirelessly to create initiatives that promote access to urban art, thus helping to shape a dynamic and inclusive artistic scene in Nice.
Together, they were able to bring together worlds that had not planned to meet and that are today intimately linked. They look back at how street art went from a marginal practice to an artistic movement welcomed and celebrated in the city's museums, while offering us a unique look at the most iconic murals in Nice.
