Lasco transposes prehistoric cave art onto Lyon urban walls: a massive bison with uncertain outlines, painted in dark grey on white plaster, directly evokes the animal frescoes of the Lascaux caves. The simplicity of line and the blurring of contours create an impression of antiquity and sacredness.
The artwork Lasco — bison rupestre is of type graffiti. You can admire it in the city of Lyon in France, more precisely here: 1 Rue d'Austerlitz, 69004 Lyon, France.
