Madame Moustache

Although street art is traditionally male-dominated arena of play there are plenty of talented female artists who are both embracing the medium and getting wide attention.

One of them is the Paris-based artist known as Madame or Madame Moustache who creates collages made of clippings from old newspapers and magazines. Her large black and white paste-up pieces are among the most readily recognizable of the French capital's eclectic proliferation of street art.

What makes Madame's artworks so alluring is her use of old materials often paired with humorous statements, and her playful, youthful imagery.
