The image of Florence as entirely monumental and historical isn’t totally true, as walking around the city, you’ll probably notice something unusual about some of the street signs. For example, a Dead End sign will appear transformed as a crucifix, or the figure of a reclining figure (referencing Botticelli’s Venus maybe?) while a One Way sign will appear as Pinocchio’s ever-growing nose. The street artist responsible for stressing the urban alongside the traditional is French artist Clet Abraham. Classically trained as a sculptor and oil painter, and resident of Florence for over 20 years, Clet’s sometimes daring, sometimes humourous guerilla sticker-art is always thought-provoking and often represents the many contradicitions around us. Warmly acknowledged by the locals, reluctantly accepted by the establishment, Clet’s studio, tucked away in a corner of the San Niccolò neighborhood is a peppy break from the more obvious Florentine art and the chance to see the contemporary artist at work.
