French Artist Transforms Boring City Walls Into Vibrant Scenes Full Of Life
Renata BoredPanda staff
Imagine yourself coming back home from a long trip and… not being able to find it.
This might actually happen if you lived in one of the buildings that got touched by this talented French street artist Patrick Commecy. Together with his team, he creates huge murals of hyper-realistic facades that bring blank and boring city walls to life.
What’s interesting here is that while these realistic yet fake facades trick you at first glance, some of the people painted there were once real. Commecy often paints many notable people from the history of the town the mural is in. Can you spot any of them?

What do you think ?
I am in awe! These buildings bring happiness.
Unbelievably beautiful,fantastical and creative! Like windows in time.
some are fake! O.o look at the clouds on the "Aquarium" one
Yes! And a lot of the "before" photos are fake too, you can see some Photoshop brush strokes that repeat. What the heck?
Yes, but could any of you have better?
Thats really sad, i was so astounished by the work and then figured out some were just badly photoshopped... Ruined the magic somehow. ????
Yes I noticed this too. A few of them the 'before' and 'after' have the same clouds....
So is this concept or real? I looked at one on his site and it was photoshopped as well. Is the after fresco actually legit?
