The street artist Dran, born in Toulouse in 1979, is frequently called The French Banksy. These two artists share a critical view of society, power figures and are not afraid to expose their beliefs publicly.
"My father wanted me to work with him in construction, but since my arms are too thin to hold a hammer, I dedicated myself to the drawing," said the artist.
Dran mainly creates paintings, drawings and graffiti art all over France. With his art, he addresses important current issues such as the powers of the authority, sexual harassment, internet addiction, exaggerated media and many more.
Take a look at some of his incredible works and vote for the most powerful ones.

Is a bit ironic...we use paper (from downed trees) to pass out “save our forests” flyers!!!
This is incredible. I feel this is how the elderly are seen and treated. Just keep giving them more and more pills!!! !!
24/7 whether men or self righteous women want to believe it or not!!!!
This is sad, because one day, this will Be True. Children will not know what real animals look like!!!
yep, here in Colombia happens, everything goes wrong and life and world happens, but what really matters is soccer,..... sad :(
This happens, all too often. Here, the Black man is trying to cover up graffiti, and it’s immediately assumed he’s doing something wrong!
There's no need for that, actually. Both can totally coexist in peace
Don’t get this one! Maybe it’s beca I can’t see what she’s wiping off.....
I'm afraid I'm not so deep and need explanation to some of those.
I think part of the experience is YOUR OWN interpretation of them.
It's not you. They're that bad.
I would be happy to help, though I could be misinterpreting some of these. For which ones do you need explainations?
@Kipper well, according to someone's comment on that one, it probably meant that many of us do what the society/colony do, not having a mind of our own. (Example: some may have started a trend, and then, many people start to follow it, without even knowing much about it. )

I like a lot of them. Big theme of your wishes being more colourful and better than your surroundings.

I resigned my office-job and now I am getting paid £64 hourly. How? I work over internet! My old work was making me miserable, so I was forced to try something different, two years after...I can say my life is changed-completely for the better! Check it out what i do... http://cutt.us/Gf3Ed
What does this have to do with Banksy? It doesn't even resemble Banksy's street art. It's just some French illustrator whose work and life have got nothing to do with Banksy. Title might as well have referred to ghe French Andy Warhol or the French Rembrandt... CLICKBAIT
All thought provoking & disturbing !
can we credit the artist properly and not just call him French Banksy ?!
A little too much of that "edgy", way too "on the nose" kind of art I see a lot of on the internet.
I didn't understand any of these.
These are biting.
These suck. Just picking low-hanging fruit.
Are we supposed to know who the original "Banksy" is? Because we don't. It sounds like a cat name.
Maybe read something.
some do need explanation. But most of them are beautiful by work.
"These TWO artists"?!?! What is he, a schizophrenic?!?!?!
Offering lots to think about....
Bobby Hill much?
...
Wow. Very telling.
fantastic!!
Intriguing and art of any kind can almost always stir one's own personal imagination where things and secrets often lay dormant. Would love higher resolutions on the pictures to use as wallpaper. Probably not going to happen I guess, but still enjoyable!
most of these are so true!! there are two that I strongly disagree with but the rest are 100% spot on
