Julien “Seth” Malland, aka Seth Globepainter, french and street, literally excites me whenever my eyes’ gaze fall upon his larger than life and vividly colorful adolescent characters, “sucked into colorful rainbow-like voids.” A french grafitti guru since the 1990s and a natural born visionary, Seth globepainter takes old buildings and turns them into artistic masterpieces, thereby introducing us to the elevating power of Art creation all over the world.
Whether in Italy, India, Paris, Vietnam, Puerto Rico, Canada, Indonesia and many other foreign lands, Globepainter’s vibrant subjects, “are usually facing away from the viewer, their attention completely swallowed by pools of dripping color revealed behind drab, urban facades“. And the underlying catalyst for the inspiration behind the work of Art Globepainter graciously presents radiates its’ purpose from cultural, political or social ideas of the respective environments of the particular Art installations; for Globepainter, is inspired most by the organic environment which his street Art is birthed.

Whether the mural takes 3 days or 1 week, there is no attention to detail missed and the 3-D dynamic will literally floor you. What I love most is the ability for the characters to transcend the building and neighborhood they are in. When you glance at the Art, it is as if all of Globepainter’s figures are time traveling. It is clear that the characters are not limited to their physical space. Instead, their dynamic color pigmentation provides a spiritual healing to the environment, while at the same time providing an experience of voyage and travel as well.
For more information on Globepainter, check out his book, “Extramuros”, where he shares with us his journey of “globepainting” for 3 years in territories such as China, India, Mexico, Vietnam and Indonesia.

💜Love & Light🌞,
