While we in the Netherlands have a tradition of readable graffiti or abstract, France artists embraced the wild style and embraced it as their own. One of my personal favourite artists and a prime example of mind-blowing French graffiti is Parisian artist Dja’louz.  [...]]]> http://cfye.com/djalouz-extraordinary-6245/feed 0 http://cfye.com/base-elements-gallery-barcelona-6235 http://cfye.com/base-elements-gallery-barcelona-6235#comments Mon, 14 May 2012 17:06:26 +0000 Arden http://cfye.com/?p=6235 Barcelona is a magical city and one of the favourite CFYE destinations in Europe.
