Artwork description

In this mural, realized with the support of Saint-Laurent, the graffiti artist offers his vision of a public work. Thus, the idea behind L’Envol comes from Greek mythology, Dodo Ose combining the myths of Pegasus and Arion at the heart of his allegory. The character of the Fame symbolizes the public recognition, whereas the horses to be tamed represent Pegasus and Arion, that is to say the creativity and the inspiration. Impression of movement, the work illustrates the growth and demographic, economic and cultural vitality of Saint-Laurent. Finally, the Greek origins of the Vriniotis family, implicated in the choice of the theme, are also echoed in the mural.
