The Reskate fresco, the first work on the Monumental Valois itinerary, is part of the development of the entrance to the Voie verte at Mareuil-sur-Ourcq, spectacularly covering an old electrical transformer. A true visual landmark, this monumental fresco runs continuously across all four sides of the 12-metre-high tower, offering an immersive 360\u00b0 experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Fresco Reskate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tribute to the history and essence of the Pays de Valois<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the history and essence of the Pays de Valois, the work explores several essential themes: silence, nature, culture, movement and tradition, with a particular focus on three major orientations: archery, nature and architecture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fresco Reskate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A work with two faces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Articulated on all four sides of the tower by an endless continuity, this two-faced “Janus” has the particularity of having a daytime and a night-time version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By day, it reveals a palette of subtle colors, featuring two figures, their heads lost in the same cloud, interacting by holding an arrow in different attitudes. This symbol echoes the tradition of archery, which spans generations, and is also a discreet signpost indicating where the “way” lies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
