The month of March is a great opportunity to not only see the great art in the streets of Paris, but also to visit different shows and exhibitions, and maybe even invest in your little art collection?
We have selected the top 7 current exhibitions of urban art in Paris, and we hope you’ll love it!
1° « Birdland » Parvati’s first solo show
In-flight with Parvati
Milan Kundera depicted people with dog heads in his novel. Parvatin decided to turn them into bird heads. The artist opens up the door of the birdcage. She offers us a festival of feathers and colours, whispers to our eye some unknown yet familiar melodies. It puts into perspective our spiritual desire and our contemporary condition, reduced to that of consumers. An exhibition that elevates the soul and the state of mind, a lesson in humanity.

3°« Playtime » Seth Globepainter
Painting and prints
Seth opens to us the secret door to his inner-child-world. Made out of toys, old pictures from our grandparents, and the innocence of childhood. An invitation to the inner journey to allow us to realize how rich we are in this life. A universe that the artist nurtures with his favorite books. Seth is a very active muralist with beautiful walls all over the world. We admire his work each time we do our famous Mural XXL tour in 13th arrondissement.

4° « Lignées » an immersive experience by Romain Froquet
Immersive installations
Romain Froquet presents an exhibition where he keeps exploring the line, through monumental installations and various artistic proposals. They have all been done in situ and it is an amazing experience to visit them. A tribute to the Line in every shape, whether it would be roads or branches. We can admire work of Romain outside the exhibition as well – at Mur Carré de Baudoin during our street art tour in Belleville.
