ARTIST INFO:


"Monsieur Carotte", the enigmatic urban artist, has been bringing a dose of fantasy and mystery to the streets of Lyon for over a decade. Originally from the region, this discreet artist has chosen the carrot as his muse, making this vegetable his artistic signature.

Monsieur Carotte embodies the essence of street art in the City of Lights. His prolific style is rooted in the city's artistic history. His choice to remain discreet on social media adds a mysterious dimension to his character.

The originality of choosing a carrot as a mascot raises intriguing questions. Why this particular vegetable? What is the story behind this unusual choice? According to legend, after getting caught, he went out angry at having to change his nickname and drew an angry carrot.

Mr. Carrot does not sign his works and even signs his certificates of authenticity with a carrot! letting his mascot be his distinctive imprint.

Some are hidden behind signs, others on top of buildings, iron curtains, highway edges. Some are giant and all are fun and offbeat.

In perpetual search of creation, La Carotte also tries its hand successfully on canvas or in innovative sculptures.
