This mural by Lasco depicts two bison facing each other: one as a black silhouette with detailed hatching, the other massive and brown, both accompanied by red handprints typical of cave art. The horizontal frieze composition on a white background recalls the arrangements of the Lascaux and Font-de-Gaume cave paintings. The work illustrates Lasco's mastery in transposing prehistoric techniques into contemporary street art language.
