Step into a world where nostalgia meets the modern day in Frenchies & Friends, a solo exhibition by French-American street artist Sebastien “Mr.D 1987” Boileau, presented by PaperCity Magazine at the Alliance Française de Houston. As the host venue for this two-month art activation (Oct. 31 – Dec. 14), the Alliance Française provides the backdrop for Mr.D’s reimagining of beloved cartoon and comic characters from both his childhood and modern times, placing them in unexpected, contemporary settings that invite deeper reflection.

In Frenchies & Friends, Mr.D uses familiar figures as catalysts for conversation, blending humor, irony, and social commentary to challenge perceptions and encourage out-of-the-box thinking. Each vibrant piece explores pop culture while making a bold statement on sustainability, incorporating upcycled materials and eco-friendly practices as part of the artist’s commitment to conscious creativity.

To complement the exhibition, Karla Modesto of Babe City Blooms will create a flower installation, adding an immersive floral experience that resonates with the playful yet thought-provoking nature of the show.

EXHIBITION VIEWING HOURS:
The Frenchies & Friends exhibition will be open to the public from October 31 to December 14, 2024. Visitors are welcome to explore the gallery during regular Alliance Française de Houston hours.
