Vibrant new mural by French street artist BAULT
The ever changing walls of East London's Hanbury Street are getting a new lick of paint from French surrealist painter and street artist BAULT. We caught up with the artist this afternoon at work on his first mural as part of the residency with Unit 5 Gallery which will also see the opening of his debut UK solo exhibition titled 'TAR' later this week.
Originally from the Aveyron region in the South of France and currently a resident of Paris, BAULT began painting graffiti back in 1997. Having studied at École des Beaux-Arts d’Avignon before moving to the school of Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg where he began to build on his graffiti background, evolving his artworks and experimenting with video art, graphic design and illustration.
According to Unit 5 Gallery Bault plans to transform the gallery space for this his first London show with a huge variety of works created with a plethora of traditional and non-traditional materials.
