Ecole Romain Rollan - Les Lilas, France 2011

Speedy Graphito made this colourful wall piece at Ecole Romain Rollan in Les Lilas, France. The colours explode, right? Pink, yellow, blue, a whole chromatic party, layered over a dark background! You can see the process, a real hands-on approach; it's like he’s inviting you into his studio, showing you how it’s all made. Up close, the texture is, well, it's a wall! The layers give the piece depth and a chaotic kind of energy. Look at the way the paint drips down in little spots, like it's got a life of its own. It’s cool how he throws colour all over, yet you can still see the figures, Snow White, a rabbit and Donald Duck – it's an amazing conversation between figuration and abstraction. The controlled chaos here reminds me of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s street art, a raw, expressive energy that celebrates the messy process of art-making. It's not about perfection, but about the sheer joy of creation.
