"These delightful street 'carpets' by artist Arthur-Louis Ignoré (or Ali) of Rennes, France, overlays beautiful, abstract representations over an existing urban context..."

Treehugger reports — without more detail on that name "Ignoré." The word translates as "unknown." I assume it, like the acronym "Ali," are assumed names, chosen for a reason. I'd like more detail. Look at the photographs of the artwork at the link and weave your theories.

Note: It should be "overlay," not "overlays." And "overlay... over" is bad.

AND: In the comments, SeanF very aptly says, “Note: It should be "is an assumed name," not "are assumed names." And "assume... assumed" is bad.”

How permanent are they? I assume the city officials are ok with them, considering their size and placement.

Who pays street artists? The Department of Public Works?

They are painted on. It's not just chalk. But people are walking on them.

Flekkefjord is the former capital of the Norwegian whaling industry.

I'm probably reading too much into it, but havihttps://www.artistaday.com/?p=24845ng lived in the Middle East, the ornamentation pictured in the story strike me as Islamic, and could be seen as a stamp on public places if true.


I thought that seemed pretty obvious, what with the "Ali"; it's like putting up a flag.

Arthur-Louis explains the work by saying, "It’s a way for me to interfere with people’s everyday life."

Next, a portrait of the prophet?

And "overlay... over" is bad.

Not half as bad as "existing urban context".

Kimberley, sweetheart, (Yes, I know. You labor under the cloud of having been named Kimberley.) It's a fucking pavement.

Those prayer rugs will come in handy as the new Caliph and his administration take over

My theory is that the son-of-a-bitch wants to kill me and enslave my children. I hope someone runs over him.

Pretty cool rooftop mandala.

And a tiny bit more background + more images.

Dust Bunny Queen বলেছেন...

So, now what we need are many pots of different neon, loud and clashing colors in paints and fill in all the blank spaces to create some retro Psychedlic Mandalas

If you want to see some beautiful street carpets get yourself to Antigua, Guatemala the week before Easter (Semana Santa). Gorgeous sawdust street carpets that the processions eventually walk over.
