BLACH (Maxime Blachère) - We Need Paul (Baleine)

The artist attacks the whale... but Paul Watson was not there to stop him!
No worries, no cetacean was harmed during the creation of this artwork. An (almost) eco-friendly gesture: the graffiti was made with a marker on a photo of a whale, not directly with spray paint on the animal.

First, because it's dangerous (she moves a lot, the little rascal), and then because... the bomb, underwater, it works so-so.

BLACH, always ahead of its time, but not quite ready for underwater street art.
