Le Sonneur, <\/strong>the French street artist is finally exhibiting at the Strip Art<\/a> gallery, 40 Cours Albert 1er 75008 Paris. This artist has been intervening in the urban landscape since January 2014 through the affixing of doorbells or ‘door bells’ as his pseudonym suggests. Trained as an architect and art director, the artist explored the fields of abstract painting and photography before taking up Street art, and more specifically ‘Street hacking’. His work can be seen in France, the United States and Mexico. <\/p>\n

But Le Sonneur currently lives and works in Paris. He likes to divert everyday objects to give them a new meaning, making visible again objects so banal, so common, that we don’t even notice them anymore. <\/p>\n

Her specialty? the threshold of our door – that privileged alcove that marks the boundary between the intimate and the public sphere. It’s in this strategic place, the barrier separating the politically correct from the irreverent, the formal from the personal, that the artist intervenes by affixing his works: gaudy red doorbells, letterboxes with evocative names, missives written to reinvent reality, or at least punctuate it with poetry and humor. <\/p>\n\n\t\t
