Paris: "X" Mural at Swiss Cultural Center
We love this massive "X" on these freight doors outside the Swiss Cultural Center in the trendy Les Marais district of Paris. The Swiss Cultural Center is kind of a hidden gem; the center is in a beautiful, post-modern multi-level exhibition space at the end of a narrow alley. The cneter is home to frequently changing art shows featuring work by young artists and designers. The alley, through which one pust pass to reach the center, is filled with great street art and graf.

Paris: Shepard Fairey Takes Obey to the Left Bank 2
Need we say more. In the chic Parisian nabe of St. Germain de Pres, the ubiquitous Andre the Giant visage stares out from a wheat-paste poster of the Obey/Giant Has A Posse icon by designer/artist/street-marketer Shepard Fairey.

Here the Obey wheat-paste is shown in context with some other street art below and in the upper right.

Space Invader in Saint Germain-des-Pres, Paris 1
We've been in France for the better part of the last two weeks, so there's been a bit of a hiatus here at the Global Graphica site. But we're back with a vengeance and loads of new images of street art and graf and more from France. We took these shots while wandering around neighborhoods in the centers of Paris and Dijon.
The image here is a close-up shot of the well-known street artist Space Invader, whose work can be found in just about every major global city -- from New York to Tokyo to, well, Paris. We found this example of Space Invader in the trendy and gallery-filled Saint Germain-des-Pres neighborhood.
