Contemporary art: Is painting visual culture symbols on cobblestone a concept in Paris ?

Voncile Slaubaugh: Yes, this is an interesting idea. http://culturexy.blogspot.com

Gaylord Barragan: Very interesting indeed....I do not know how to answer the question about is painting visual culture symbols..etc.......but apparently the question would be yes. Some times in this part of the country, we do the same thing only on a larger scale....decorate the side of a building with something that we want people to be aware of....such as a historic event, or something that a city is known for....etc. etc. I think that this is a very good way to promote culture as long as it is done in good taste....Sure beats tagging......God bless....Nomadic...Show more

Arlene Maycumber: I like the idea of the cobblestones on cobblestone one en situ because it would make you stop and think.The packaging/advertising ones work too because they appear to have been thrown away.The others although well executed do not work quite so well when returned to the street but are inter! esting as works of art in their own right.Painting on stone goes back to the beginnings of time and a modern twist like this is very interesting. The only problem I can see is if you acheived the same status as Banksy for example the works would, especially as they are so portable be quickly destroyed or spirited away....Show more
