On a hydro pole in Graffiti Alley, facing more to the nearest wall than to the alley, I discovered an intriguing collage. It was made of a series of pictures, old-style coloured pictures of women who look like they’d be more comfortable in the 1940’s and 1950’s….they’re straight out of vintage magazines.
below: A signature on the bottom of the artwork, Mademoiselle Berthelot. She’s a street artist from Paris who recently left her mark in Toronto.
Stylish women, like this one with long white gloves, surrounded by circles (bubbles?). Circles made with splotches of paint and blue striped circles made with rubber stamps.
If you look closely, there are pairs of birds sitting together on top of sealed envelopes.
So far, this is the only piece I’ve seen by Mademoiselle Berthelot. Are there more in Toronto?
