STRØK (Anders Gjennestad) · Untitled (“Sans titre”), May 2016 · Gable wall on Rue de la Glacière, Paris 13e
Photo as published on Street Art Utopia in 2022; photographer not named. More photos of the wall, credited to the artist, are on Brooklyn Street Art
Norwegian stencil artist STRØK, Anders Gjennestad, painted this gable wall on Rue de la Glacière in Paris’s 13th arrondissement in May 2016, with Galerie MathGoth. The gallery lists it as “Sans titre” (Untitled): four hip-hop dancers that the artist turned 45 degrees, so the figures and their shadows seem to fall across the building. Street Art Utopia calls it “Suspended Figures”, a descriptive name, not the artist’s title.
4 things to know
- The neighbours chose itAccording to Galerie MathGoth, people living in the area were asked first and picked this design from three projects put to them: “Ils ont sélectionné ce balai de 4 danseurs de hip-hop” (They chose this “ballet” of four hip-hop dancers; the gallery writes “balai”). Galerie MathGoth
- Turned 45 degreesThe gallery says the artist deliberately rotated the dancers by 45 degrees “afin de créer un oeuvre plus aérienne” (to make a more airborne work). STRØK told Brooklyn Street Art: “It looks like the figures are falling but if you tilt your head then it looks like they standing.” Galerie MathGoth · Brooklyn Street Art
- From his own photographsBrooklyn Street Art wrote that the stencil artist works “using his personal photographs taken from the midst of human activity”, and called the wall “a genuinely new angle for the artist to approach the figure in space.” Brooklyn Street Art
- His first official Paris wallGalerie MathGoth calls it the “Première fresque officielle de Anders Gjennestad (aka STRØK) dans Paris” (his first official mural in Paris), made with the support of the 13th arrondissement town hall and the landlord Paris Habitat, which owns the building. It went up just before his solo show at the gallery, which Brooklyn Street Art said opened on 3 June. Galerie MathGoth · Brooklyn Street Art
