Paris trompe-l’oeil, des artistes dans la ville (Book) by Sophie Masson and Huguette de Broqueville. Like new, 2002. 120 pages. French texts.

Sophie Masson, photographer, draws her inspiration from urban space.

She then discovered painted walls, graffiti, trompe-l’oeil, escapes of colors and fantasies, true works of art all the more moving as they are ephemeral. Her work presents buildings as gigantic easels. The walls become canvases on which artists let their imagination speak. Figurative, naive, abstract or on the contrary hyperrealist paintings, works by famous artists – Mesnager, Nemo, Folon, Ben, Cueco, Combas, Soulié and many others, or anonymous, art comes down to the street. The walls come to life.

Through a subtle play of mirrors, through the artist’s clever work, the city is both behind and in front of us: the angle of the shot, the choice of photographic framing further contribute to accentuating this vertigo between reality and imagination.
