The French street artist, Clet Abraham, better known as Clet, has become a household name in Florence, famous for his revamped street signs around the city. His eye-catching work has also been spotted across the border.
An announcement on his Facebook page stated that a few months ago he was contacted by the Prefecture of the Parisian police force, requesting Clet’s road sign designs to be installed in Paris. The artist has been invited to present his work in Parisian schools and to reinforce the importance of the Highway Code. The Prefecture stated, ‘the air pollution in the city (Paris) today is such that nobody looks at the road signs anymore. Your work draws attention to these signs.’ The artist will travel to Paris to teach his first six ‘lessons’ in June.
Clet concluded by saying ‘…with all the love I have for Italy, today I would like to say “Vive la France!”’
