“I knew Montpellier and Carré Saint-Anne. I loved the volume and energy of this place. I didn’t hesitate for a second.”

The City of Montpellier, a bustling hub of street art, displayed JonOne’s work for the first time in a public exhibition space. The exhibition, named “Above and Below”, unveiled pieces specially designed to resonate with the monumentality of the deconsecrated church, which has housed a contemporary art space since the 1990s.

Large-scale works with colorful calligraphy were hung on the walls of Carré Saint-Anne, marking its first ever exhibition entirely devoted to street art.
