This month saw a most exciting happening: a new Nemo fresco created by the artist on the wall of a 7-storey apartment block at 146 Rue de Menilmontant, looking over the Menilmontant-Oberkampf crossroads. It features all his most loved elements: the man in the black raincoat with his suitcase, the red balloon(inspired of course by Lamorisse's film of the same name), a kite, and a rocket which Nemo says is inspired by the amazing adventure-in-waiting that are the first commercial rocket flights(Virgin Galactic's ones, I suppose!)
Beautiful, airy, dreamy and charming as ever, this is a fresco that already takes its place amongst Nemo's great works, and inspires local inhabitants.
There's a piece about it here in the local paper Belleville Magazine:
