After the great success of the 1st edition organized in 2023, the Maison de quartier de Kerlédé and the Fort group are once again inviting artists to exhibit in the unusual setting of the Villès-Martin fort at Graff’Ici lounge. With its indoor exhibition hall and outdoor spaces, the venue will once again be ideal for showcasing works, hosting live performances, and why not give the public the desire to try out various techniques for a weekend. 4 artists have been invited this year.

Likeca diverts traffic signs

Originally from Eastern France, Likeca is a young artist inspired by the street. He has just exhibited at Maurice Ravel center in Parisand arrives in Saint-Nazaire with his diverted traffic signs. Made with stencils, the monotonous signs take on new colors and a new meaning with the artist. Room for imagination for the public who can also try to divert the objects to make us fall into the trap!

The frescoes of Hugo Pacaud / Eskat

This painter-illustrator from Nantes discovered graffiti in 2004. His urban frescoes cover facades all over France, and he likes to go from the infinitely large to the delicately small with engraving, installations or object sculptures. It is inspired by the history of the places that surround it, and the place that men find there, and will propose the creation of a live canvas painting.

The fantastic universe of Denis Ac’h

Coming from the world of decorated trucks, the artist uses theair-brush (small paint gun). The artist paints pictures on canvas, wood or aluminum. He defines his universe as fantastic in a world of colors. An airbrush demo will be offered to the public on Saturday.

Pierre Bouttier / Ratz One

Ratz One is a street artist from Nantes. Its colorful universe questions the animal side that lies dormant within us in a realistic and cartoon style. The artist will also offer a live painting to the public.
