Alegría

Alegría is a bold, brightly colored mural painstakingly crafted across the expansive exterior of a 19th century castle in France that explores the multifaceted history of the building and its many uses. Artist: Louis Lambert aka 3TTMAN is a major presence in Madrid’s contemporary art scene, where he’s developed an high-brow meets low-brow aesthetic that combines punk’s heritage of graffiti, and do-it-yourself-by-any-means necessary attitude with vernacular and popular religious art, and blurs the boundaries between art and craft. Lambert is known paint openly in the middle of the day, happy to argue with the police when they eventually emerged on the scene. This gave him the time to produce highly complex collages, never simply painting over but using what was already there, playing with it, challenging it, taking a purely commercial medium and converting it into a space for interaction, for enjoyment. Louis Lambert has found numerous other way of interacting in the street, producing large-scale murals, mosaics, piñatas, pushing upon the strained boundary between folk and high-art.
