French graffiti artist C215 aka Christian Guémy is travelling around the world making his mark. He says:

“It was only three years ago that I turned to stencil art in order to place nice pictures on the streets quickly and without authorisation. I chose this name because it sounds like a code or a jail number. Life, sometimes, is like a prison. Also, it implies that we are nothing more than anonymous numbers in a city. I love to place my characters in abandoned buildings. They inhabit those places like ghosts, they underline the life that once was there. Street art is like surfing. You have to travel to experience new situations, new contexts and new people.”

His images are solitary faces and figures, captivating in their loneliness. He has been US, Brazil, Israel, Morocco, India, Poland, France, England, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands.
