Painter to Lyon - France
France
CitéCréation is a collective of mural artists based in Lyon, founded in 1978 by a group of young artists with a passion for monumental art and trompe-l'œil. Their collective approach quickly became a unique model in France and around the world, making them pioneers in the field of urban mural painting.
Over the decades, CitéCréation has designed and created more than 650 monumental frescoes around the world, helping to transform urban spaces into open-air art galleries. Their work is characterised by a collaborative approach with the residents of the neighbourhoods in which they work, integrating local histories into their creations.
CitéCréation's artistic approach is deeply rooted in the link between art and community. Each project is the fruit of close collaboration with residents, local authorities and institutional partners. Their approach is to breathe new life into neighbourhoods, by creating works that tell the story of the place and its inhabitants, while revitalising the public space.
CitéCréation's frescoes go beyond simple decoration; they are designed to promote social dialogue, collective identity and urban memory. This meticulous and humanistic work has enabled them to transform degraded spaces into genuine works of art, while highlighting the cultural heritage and values shared by the communities.
