Nice Street Art

Street Art has been slow to find its place in the big cities of France. But, today it is recognized as an art in its own right, especially in Nice. Supported by the cultural assistant of Nice, passionate about Street Art, urban and contemporary arts. Indeed, the latter knew how to mobilize the talents of many graffiti artists, in particular the association specializing in urban culture "Whole Street" with more than 15 artists.

The pioneer and founder of Street Art

Ernest Pignon-Ernest le niçois is the precursor of urban art in France. Today he has been an inescapable and popular legend for fifty years. And works with force and poetry of real-scale bodies and posters in the streets of the world.

None of his works are on the walls of Nice. However, you can find an exhibition dedicated to him at the Museum of Modern Art and Contemporary Art in Nice.
