100% Paper IV: Free Collective Street Art Exhibition at Bastille Design Center — Our Photos

Attention street art enthusiasts! This time, urban art takes over the 11th arrondissement of Paris. For just four days— from Thursday, January 15 to Sunday, January 18, 2026 — come and experience the latest, fourth edition of the exhibition “100% Paper”. Leading this collective installation is the visionary artist Hopare, with support from Urban Signature to bring the project to life.

It’s worth noting that Hopare, whose real name is Alexandre Monteiro, is renowned for his striking sculptures and large murals of female faces created across France, Lisbon in Portugal, Tallinn in Estonia, and the Lofoten Islands in Norway. Meanwhile, Urban Signature, described as the “leading bespoke French street art company,” has been showcasing multiple exhibitions in Paris over the past few years. The latest installation in the French capital? It’s dedicated to Toctoc, displayed in a gallery in the 4th arrondissement.

So, what's on offer at this exhibition, "100% Paper IV", happening in Paris this January? Nearly 120 urban artists from France and around the world have gathered in a single space! Coming from diverse backgrounds, they all worked with paper—be it drawings, inks, collages, or mixed media—to create a series of new, original works (around 300 pieces) on display from January 15 to 18, 2026.

Typically, the event takes over a gallery in the 3rd arrondissement. For this fourth edition of 100% Paper, Hopare and Urban Signature have chosen the Bastille Design Center, an iconic spot in the Paris art scene. The venue boasts a generous space with striking architecture, featuring a stunning glass roof, metal accents, and wooden stairs that creak underfoot. For the very first time, the artworks can be explored across the center’s three levels: the ground floor, the basement, and the first floor. Hopare has also created an impressive, breathtaking anamorphic collage that immediately catches the eye upon entry!

For 100% Paper IV, Hopare and Urban Signature are welcoming back several artists who participated in the first three editions, including Horss, Raf Urban, Matt Tieu, Caroline Karenine and Graff Matt. The event also showcases emerging talents and fresh faces from the scene.

Hopare presents a selection of fresh, personal works for the occasion, alongside other notable artists from the scene, such as Maye, Vinie, Jo Di Bona, Ensemble Réel, Abys, Ador, Jo Little, Sax, RNST, Madame, Levalet, as well as Miss Van and Pez. Once again, every style is on display, in both small and large formats, highlighting the range of techniques used—including drawings, screenprints, lithography, and collage...

With a wide variety of artworks on display, a visit to the Bastille Design Center promises a delightful experience. While some original pieces are available at premium prices, Urban Signature has considered more budget-friendly options by setting up a shop area at the entrance of the Bastille Design Center. It’s a great opportunity to explore limited-edition creations from Maye, Jo Di Bona, Ardif, as well as Ador and RNST, at more accessible prices.

Signings will also be available on-site. Be sure to stop by this Friday, January 16, from 4 to 6 p.m. to meet Maye and Taroe. Maye will be back on Saturday, January 17, from 1 to 3 p.m., followed by Jo Di Bona on Sunday, January 18, from 3 to 5 p.m. And don’t miss Hopare on Sunday evening, signing from 4 to 6 p.m.

Another point to note is that the exhibition appeals just as much to street art enthusiasts as to families eager to explore this artistic genre alongside their children. The event even offers the little ones a chance to create their own collage poster by hunting for flags throughout the exhibit.

To experience the fourth edition of the exhibition "100% Paper", head over to 74 Boulevard Richard-Lenoir in the 11th arrondissement of Paris from January 15 to 18, 2026. Best of all, entry is free — so missing out would be a real mistake! The Bastille Design Center welcomes visitors on Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
