Amidst the collection of busts, the newcomer out of place , as its creator, American graffiti artist JonOne , came to present wearing a jacket covered in neon lettering in the middle of deputies and guests in costumes and strict suits.

The final stage of the composition was revealed by the unveiling of the painting : the artist has revealed Delacroix's allegory by an inverted stencil effect, having covered its composition except white silhouettes of the famous painting .
"Freedom" doubly symbolic

JonOne American of Dominican origin born in Harlem, is installed for nearly thirty years in Paris. This pioneer of street art from 51 years to the very youthful allure started in the world of teenage graffiti by tagging on walls and subways of New York. Insert this urban culture at the heart of the Republic was symbolic , recent events further exacerbate the subject:

" This painting was commissioned from the artist before the heinous barbaric attacks of 7 January , and before the day of 11 January , which saw the spirit of freedom , the desire for freedom , to storm the streets of France , in our cities , our neighborhoods wherever beat a citizen of heart , "said the president of the National Assembly, Claude Bartolone


Canvas and comes for him a "terrible moment, but also the best to show [that] Freedom", which shows, according to the elected socialist, "that France fears nothing when it is faithful to the combat heat social ":" it reminds us that France fears nothing and no one and no tyranny when, as seen here, she turns to look at the people, to take orders, and never back down. »
the street

Beyond the Republican symbol with JonOne is "street [that] invites the Palais Bourbon", also stressed the elect, who was minister of the city under the Jospin government: "The street its techniques, its means of expression, the street with its beauty. In the street, we want to say things as art, also not yet said. »

Expression of a certain "revolt", "this art," he welcomes the "universal", "won, he has won acclaim at the forefront of the aerosol", further said the deputy PS Seine-Saint-Denis, making passing tribute to the artistic richness of his department. See the President of the Assembly discuss the aesthetics of urgency due to the game of cat and mouse between graffiti artists and police did not lack flavor - like watching the classicism of gilt frame chosen to hang the canvas.

The call for JonOne that, beyond its status as a pioneer of street art and its success as a painter at auctions, is known for its social and charitable commitment, especially for the Fondation Abbé Pierre , is an initiative of Claude Bartolone. The politician had discovered his work there by chance three years in Corsica, before realizing that the workshop of the artist, he wanted to meet, was a few hundred meters from his home to lilac. A fervent admirer of his compositions, the elected describes them as "explosions of colors and feelings, between drunkenness and expressionist abstraction which invites thought and emotion. »
"There is a generosity in street art"

For its part, the artist explains that he chose to represent Marianne waving the tricolor as a picture of "Youth, the future hope." He considers himself a member of "a generation that has to fight for freedom, the freedom to create the conditions for a better future, despite the difficulties that many people go through, especially the scourge of poverty. »

When asked if he did not find it a bit strange to see his graffiti in this solemn place, amid the gilt and marble, the artist recalls the foundation of his approach: "If I chose to m express in the street by graffiti was a will to change things, to hear something else, anger, hatred. There is a generosity in street art, and here I see a generosity in both directions: people who do not know graffiti and culture will be able to look at them differently. »

The public will have limited access to the work. In the usual manner tours of the Palais Bourbon, inevitably drastic must be booked at least three months in advance through a deputy. Visits grouped dropper that allow in addition to discover other contemporary art places: Pierre Alechinsky, Vincent Barré, Fabienne Verdier, Walter de Maria and Hervé di Rosa. "

Well, what about offcial street-art comissionned ? It depends by who and, almost all, I really don't know what to think about this... Is this street-art ? I don't think so...
