Wanting to brighten up its town, the municipality of Trémel had contacted Gwendal Larher, painter from Plestin-les-Grèvesin spring 2024, for the creation of a fresco on the gable of the current town hall.
Several project proposals later, the artist began the concretization phase last week. The theme is the promotion of heritage, a subject that is particularly close to the creator’s heart.
A goldfinch at the top
On Thursday, September 5, passers-by could already admire the magnificent goldfinch that adorns the top of the fresco, just below the compass rose.
Its bright colours will be accompanied by a sepia-coloured creation where we can already recognise the silhouette of the Kermerzit manor.
“We went for a bit of a comic book treatment for the form. For the theme, I want to stay as close as possible to people’s daily lives, so that they recognize their places!”
The work should be completed by Wednesday evening, before the necessary surface treatment.
Murals and trompe-l’oeil
After starting out as an autodidact, Gwendal Larher trained in advertising graphics and then studied applied arts. He specialized in interior and exterior wall design and worked in several regions.
He specializes in murals and trompe-l’oeil, and his clientele today consists of half individuals and half companies and communities.
