Gregos is a world renowned French street artist who makes plaster casts of his face, Paints them and then sticks them to walls. He visited Bristol in 2015 during Upfest, and this is one of his pieces. He has made more than 1000 of these face casts, mostly in Paris – I know of only two in Bristol.

Cosmic Traveller, a Bristol street art blogger, wrote a great piece about Gregos in January this year. It is well worth a read.

I can’t help really liking this original idea, and of course it’ll make my next trip to Paris just that bit more interesting.

A really cool idea. Bristol certainly gets a little bit of everything.

You are right, there is a huge spectrum of street art here. Something for everyone.

Rather like the 3D ears by Urban Solid, I find these casts eye-catching but I’m glad there aren’t too many of them about. To me they look a bit too much like death masks for comfort and I’ve never taken photos of those I see round Paris. That said, now I’ve read the piece by Cosmic Traveller I’ll be checking the expression next time I see one of these faces. Thanks for the link.

You are right about the death mask thing, but the expressions are amazing, and the idea is quite an original one.
