"I always loved French street artist L’Atlas’ black and white geometric patterns and calligraphic researches. Last Friday, he opened his first solo show in NYC and couldn’t resist leaving a trace in Washington Square. The exhibition “City Fragments” runs from October 16th to November 16th at Gallery Nine 5. If you discover L’Atlas for the first time, here are a few videos presenting his work including the 2008 “Don’t Loose the North” installation commissioned by Centre Pompidou that initiated public interaction with the construction of a giant compass in the museum’s plaza.

Unlike other street artists who paint in the public sphere, L’Atlas reinvents the process by literally taking fragments of the street with him; first he spray paints the streets with his labyrinthine style, then he silkscreens the marks on captivating black canvases. Thanks to Laurent Desserrey for the researches.
