Saype, by corbu on Jun 5, 2019 18:53:49 GMT 1, Article in The Guardian on the artist Saype.
'On a vast stretch of lawn beneath the Eiffel tower, a paint-splattered figure in a baseball cap is kneeling down, carefully planting small wooden stakes into the grass, checking each is aligned with a tape-measure.
It’s an odd sight in the park beneath Paris’s main tourist attraction, but in the morning rush, few people pause to wonder what he is doing. They simply continue trampling over the grass, or let their dogs bound over it. “I’m used to all kinds of hazards to my work,” shrugs the artist Saype. “If it’s not the weather, it’s cows walking over it, or moles popping up, and here it’s dogs. I take it as a lesson in humility.”
Saype — real-name Guillaume Legros — is one of France’s newest street art sensations, a rural graffiti artist who, instead of working in urban settings, creates his own brand of land art: massive biodegradable paintings on enormous stretches of grass on mountainsides. ...'

Saype

Saype, by Red Barron on Sept 22, 2021 0:48:35 GMT 1, Saype has a new piece at the United Nations headquarters in NYC that I think is very well done. Given all of his massive biodegradable land art instillations (up to 10,000 square meters) I am surprised he doesn’t get more attention from the street art world. To a degree, it makes me think of JR style but with a different medium. Sharing links below in case anyone wants to check out someone new that isn’t often mentioned here.
