Meyso
Paris, France
Meyso is a new media and graffiti artist based in Paris, France. Starting in his exploration of Graffiti and Street Art in 2007, Meyson’s passion eventually led him to study at the Beaux Arts de Marseille, where he obtained his Diplôme National Supérieur d’Arts Plastiques in 2013, followed by his Master’s degree in 2017.
Amidst travels to Mexico, Colombia, Berlin and Hungary, the discovery of other cultures that inspire him to focus his work around the perception of environment always in perpetual movement and transformation. The city is an extended human community and a mechanism that assigns people to conditions of existence that are as far removed from the natural environment as possible. And yet, it functions with modes of emergence similar to that of natural processes. The effect of his graffiti work is to turn cities into ‘Super-Organisms’.
His intention is to create a link for all those who observe a story outside their reality, through imaginary windows, where he invites the viewer to embark on a path of deep introspection.
Mural Title
“CALGARY DREAM”
Mural Statement
The city is an endless machine, a machine without mechanics, in perpetual movement, in constant growth and evolution. That is why this project is a continuation of my artistic work, in which different elements and aspects of the city of Calgary and the region appear, a mixture of cultures and symbols, of forms of buildings that show its industrial side, and other forms that represent the vast nature in its landscapes such as the Canadian Badlands, the Pine Forest, the Canadian Rockies.
Represented as a kind of child’s play, it is associated with the colors of a dream and creates a path along which the spectator’s gaze wanders, inviting him to embark on a journey in which he creates his own narrative in a harmonious, poetic and benevolent universe, a world of dreams and the open sky of Calgary, which offers us some of the most beautiful nights in the world with its shooting stars and aurora borealis. Above all, I love cities, to wander around and get lost, they are the witness to our existence, the mirror of our society, they reinvent themselves and question themselves. I also need nature and beautiful landscapes to recharge and create, and the city of Calgary seems to be the perfect combination of these two environments.
