"More than humans", a photo from Aquitaine, West

Photographer's Note

Over the past decade, Flach's work has increasingly focused on animals, ranging widely across species but united by a distinctive style that is derived from his concerns with anthropomorphism and anthropocentrism. His interests lie in the way humans shape animals, and shape their meaning. Whether genetically, as with the featherless chicken, or with the symbolism that gives a special significance to a dove but dismisses a London pigeon as a flying rat. His images aim to promote discussion and encourage debate.
Flach is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Norwich University of the Arts in 2013. He lives and works in London.

Hi Claude
Well spotted street art, that terrific baboon is huge eyeing at you! I love street art when it is creative and when it wraps itself round the structure of the building with the blokes relates to its locality. The angle seems to be very fine as is the balance of composition. Good artist, good image and good capture!!
Best regards

Who's watching who?

With special thanks for the informative note.

Bonjour Claude,

Street Art, Wall Paintings, Graffiti𠏋 (with a big G), Tagging...
As I just begun with a new Theme, I search internet about the meaning of this Art ... All are often confused with one another. 𡌃ven if all might be interpreted as subversive art, displayed in public places rather than a gallery�,it looks like graffiti artists are not drawing their work for the people wandering the streeets; but it is mostly an answer/reaction to other graffiti artists. While street artists are looking for public recognization and want people enjoying their work as true Art.
Here it seems to be a photograph rather than a painted work and I also read about the photographer Flach via your link but I would like to add it to a Street Art Theme.

Amicalement,
Viviane

Bonjour Claude,
Ce babouin est peint r嶧liste. Et beaucoup plus grande que dans la vie.
Ce doit 皻re un choc si on entre sans m嶨iance dans le b漮iment.
Amiti廥, Paul
