Bansky has 2 corrosive graffitis sheltered by Plexiglas on the street of Tannerie and at the beach rescue station.

Banksy, an artist known worldwide for his corrosive graffiti, has worked in Calais on several occasions. Sensitive to the plight of migrants, he wanted to depict the harshness of the journey made by these men and women from war-torn territories, and their hope of reaching Great Britain. In Rue de la Tannerie, the fresco depicting the Raft of the Medusa has now disappeared, but at the first-aid post, you can still admire Girl with telescope, depicting a child looking towards the English coast through a telescope on which a vulture is perched.

Banksy
Cette œuvre de Banksy peinte sur le poste de secours de la plage de Calais représente un enfant faisant face à la mer et regardant avec une longue vue les côtes anglaises.
Une œuvre dont la réalisation est assez sommaire mais avec une forte représentation symbolique.

Je n ai malheureusement pas trouvé celle de la Tannerie mais celle de la plage est très touchante.
