Quarez graphisme dans la rue (legs)

Series of 4 different designs, advertised in the street in 1996 for a month, for ‘L’art dans la ville’, where poster artist could exhibit their art in the north of Paris.

After a career in art and advertising, which mainly included working as an illustrator, Quarez began to design posters. Many of them were screen-printed in bright, bold colours. This was to become a trademark for Quarez and his designs. Fluro yellow, vivid greens, neon pink and deep blues- colours that would attract passerby’s on the streets. His posters demand attention. Most of the works were centred around a particular theme or place, Saint Denis (norther suburb of Paris) for example, which has a predominately high immigrant community, where Quarez lived himself.
