As part of the completion of its logistics hub in AeroliansParis, a 200-hectare business park located in Tremblay-en-France near Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport, the BARJANE real estate group has commissioned artist Romain Froquet to create a monumental work of art covering 1,290 m2 of the façade of their logistics platform.

After deliberation by a jury formed by Aline Lunven (Grand Paris Aménagement), Romain Scoazec (Grand Paris Aménagement), Sébastien Bastaraud (Municipality of Tremblay en France), Clément Leclerc (Agence Franc), and Mathilde Bes de Berc (BARJANE), artist Romain Froquet was selected to create the fresco. Manifesto handled the executive production of the work, from the legal aspects to the coordination of technical studies, as well as the organization and monitoring of the work site (budget, schedule, choice of service providers, coordination of the installation, artistic assistance, etc.).

Observing the surrounding urban landscape, Romain Froquet, a self-taught artist, uses satellite photos of the area around the AeroliansParis park to study the movements and interactions between residents, workers, and passersby, as well as their connections with various places. This ensures that his work respects the identity of the surrounding territory. The result is a striking and warm piece: colored lines intersect and materialize these points of contact, revealing a significant part of the territory’s identity and reinforcing the connection between the BARJANE building and its immediate surroundings. Covering 1,290 m2, the work will be visible from the future line 17 of the Grand Paris Express, potentially becoming a prominent territorial landmark and a significant artistic statement on the scale of Greater Paris.

About Romain Froquet
Romain Froquet, a self-taught artist, created his first works in 2000s. He first expressed his talent by focusing on the repetition of lines, eventually developing his own visual language. Through his fascination with the curved line and its motion, he takes the viewer on a journey between the urban environment, raw materials, and ethnic influences. His multifaceted art is open to all kinds of experimentation: he explores numerous media, executing Indian ink drawings on paper, working with materials and colors on his studio canvases, or exploring movement through in situ interventions. The line, charged with symbolic, representational, or spatial significance, serves as the foundational structure of his universe.
