Streetart Künstler haben es nicht immer leicht. Ihre Werke sind meist nur von kurzer Dauer, da das Wetter, andere Künstler oder Eigentümer es entfernen bzw. übermalen. Rene Gagnon hat aus diesem Grund einen Ort gewählt, bei dem vielleicht nicht auf den ersten Blick erkennbar ist, dass etwas verändert wurde.

These days it seems shoes and clothes just aren’t enough anymore. I’ve always loved working in different mediums on the street – stencils, pastes, stickers, cardboard, wood, etc.. Over the years you watch your works disappear no matter what the medium – from weather, other artists, property owners, etc.. Anyone that does this for a while starts to realize that with more thought out placement, things can last a long ass time, a lot longer than pieces placed haphazardly. So lately i’ve not only been choosing my locations more wisely but have been doing things that attempt to blend in with the existing surroundings. I’m sure these alterations go mainly unnoticed for the most part but for me it offers the same satisfaction as the other things i do on the street – it’s all about altering the outside world no matter how subtle.
