A new monumental street art fresco by local artist Gaël Ricci has been unveiled in Decazeville, bringing the graphic universe of Gustave Doré into the public space.

Street art engages in dialogue with art history. Through a large-scale fresco, Gaël Ricci transposes a graphic universe inspired by the famous illustrator and engraver Gustave Doré into the public space.
The local artist's work is distinguished by the precision of its lines, the play of contrasts, and the richness of detail. This creation gives the impression that an ancient engraving has unfolded on the city walls.
Accessible to everyone, the artwork helps make the urban space a place for discovery and encounter with contemporary creation. It also testifies to the cultural dynamism of the territory and the talent of the artists who live and work there.
