Labyrinthine visions, meanderings of goofing, messages to decipher: welcome to the world of the Atlas, where getting lost and finding oneself has never been so easy. Driven by the desire to create a truly universal pictorial language, L’Atlas intends to address everyone, everywhere, all the time, reinventing itself with us and for us.
Wielding the art of staging and the mysteries of communication - ancient and modern - The Atlas has been able to invest massively in public space and to find its way into places of culture, which it treats as architecturally designed spaces. to conquer. “[…] When you do street art, you work on the exterior skin of the building.
I think of an exhibition with the same creative processes as an exterior wall: I take the measurement of the canvas or the wall and then I divide the wall or the canvas into a number of lines. My process adapts to everything. "Like its author who, in 2020, unrolls his rolls of adhesive, from the canvases of his workshop to the monumental facade of the Domaine de la Valette: crowned" king of the Valette Festival Label ", L'Atlas affirms its artistic authority on the new generation of urban art.
Active artist, artist-actor, L’Atlas is committed to the past and to the future, like the Label Valette Festival and its third edition entitled: "Tomorrow is far". Hopes, fears? What tomorrow wears, the artist guides and accompanies us, transforming our world into a universe where everyone finds their place.

Because, as L’Atlas said about his work, it "seeks to recreate the destruction of time, the persistence of the human who wants things to exist". And we are very happy that this new exhibition of L’Atlas can exist at the gallery.
