Since his last public art intervention earlier this year (covered), Paris-based street artist, LUDO (interviewed), has been working tirelessly within the indoor confines of his studio, preparing for his first full fledged solo exhibition. Opening Thursday, April 7th, La Belle Vie will be an ambitious undertaking for the French talent, as he fills the 15 rooms of Zurich’s Starkart Gallery with his weapon clad insects and other nature based imagery fused with technological components, often with sociopolitical slants.

If you remember, we brought you some “Halloweenism” from LUDO (interviewed) recently. Now, take a look at some of the origins of the series with the “co-branding” project that he’s been working on concurrently in Paris. The “Del Monte” trash can we posted last month was the first piece of this new series, so it looks like he’s branching out from his “Nature’s Revenge” imagery somewhat. Take a look at more bus stop interventions after the jump…

Streets: LUDO

Posted by sleepboy, December 18, 2009

We’ve been keeping an eye on Paris-based street artist LUDO ever since he got up this piece on an abandoned boat. His “Nature’s Revenge” themed works feature juxtapositions of nature and urban elements as these hybrids fight back against the environmental destruction of humans. His fresh concepts and signature green wheatpastes brighten up an otherwise dreary landscape and the viewer can’t stop but think about the message the artist is trying to get across. More of LUDO’s recent work after the jump…
