Peinture Fraîche :
A Commitment to Urban Arts

Peinture Fraîche is actively engaged in promoting urban arts. The festival produces and co-produces events in France and abroad, such as TrubLyon, Wall Drawing, Killart (Colombia) and Tao Festival (Thailand). With 57,000 visitors for this fifth edition, Peinture Fraîche continues to show that urban art is much more than just an exhibition. It allows the public to grasp gestures, understand techniques and try to reproduce them, thus enhancing the artistic practices and the quality of the works presented.

Fresco Description

Hetaone’s work represents a huge colorful skull, making its appearance less austere and more playful. A captivating detail is the unique eyeball that looks at the audience through the fingers of two hands framing the skull. These hands form the acronym 69, the number of the department of the city of Lyon, as well as a sign of rallying well known to the Lyonnais, often accompanied by the expression typically Lyon “six nine la trique”.

Symbolism and Modernity

Behind the skull, cables symbolize the connection of the festival with new technologies, highlighting the modern and accessible aspect of the event. At the bottom of the fresco, the artist’s coat of arms appears as a huge “heta” tag, marking Hetaone’s unique identity in the artistic landscape.
