David Mesguich and his 3D street art to intercept the soul of cities

David Mesguich is an artist from Bruxelles, his works of art are polygonal sculptures that remind arcade videogames from the 90s.

He realizes them starting from sheets of recycled plastic, weld together piece by piece, that in consequence get placed in streets like graffiti appear on the walls, and like the most common street art he places them at night in public places, without permission or protection.

Huge white-grey heads, of uncannily realistic forms, that suddenly appear in urban locations, apparitions that sometimes last few hours and sometimes last for months. They shock and maybe even spook the viewer that catches a glimpse of it during a normal day, confusing pedestrians that might question the actual existence of such creation and wonder how it got there.
These enormous sculptures don't get positioned by chance, David Mesguich is a passionate traveller and he observes, during his trips, different cities, keeping track of the most interesting locations with a camera and a sketchbook.

He goes on, looking for the poetry of every city, trying to get to the heart of the places he visits.
Exploring those streets that at the start we don't know, but that soon we discover being part of our existence, as we traverse them daily to get to our most significant destinations.
