Some artists display their work in galleries, while others turn an entire city into their playground. Brusk belongs to the latter group. In the streets of Paris, just steps from the Carreau du Temple in the 3rd arrondissement, this Lyon-based street artist has launched Délire(s) d'errance, an innovative urban trail featuring around ten mural frescoes. Since March 13th, 2026, one mural has been revealed each day, transforming the city into an open-air exhibition space.
The project is set against the festive backdrop of the 10th anniversary of the Urban Art Fair, the major international showcase for urban art taking place at the Carreau du Temple from March 19 to 22, 2026. However, with Délire(s) d'errance, Brusk opts to step beyond the confines of the fair walls and engage directly with Parisians in the streets, where street art resonates with its most powerful meaning.
At the center of the exhibition: Don Quixote, Cervantes' legendary character transformed into a universal icon, reimagined here in a distinctly contemporary context. Brusk envisions him as a modern-day beacon of clarity, a DQXT rushing through what he calls "the city of a hundred villages," armed not with a lance but with a wild palette—fighting against the dullness and disillusionment of our times. A compelling vision, blending elements of chivalry with street art activism.
This selection of Don Quixote is surely no coincidence. The artist perceives it as a mirror held up to our information-saturated society, one plagued by doubt and disinformation. Following Make Your Move, his impactful commentary on the Paris Olympics, Brusk continues to stand firm in his approach: using street art as a form of activism, a poetic and political act rolled into one.
To explore the complete route, an interactive map is now available on bybrusk.com. It offers a fresh, engaging way to experience the city—from discovering hidden corners on foot to keeping your eyes peeled for art at every turn. The final stop on this journey features a mural created for the M.U.R. Bastille, located at 38 rue de la Roquette in the 11th arrondissement. Be aware that some artworks may have been damaged or even removed.
Born in Lyon in 1976 under the name Cédric Kozluk, Brusk discovered graffiti in 1991 and has never looked back — fortunately for us. His distinctive style is instantly recognizable thanks to two signature techniques: the drip (coulure) and the tearing, which fragment his images and visually reflect the fractures in our world. Paradoxically, from these alterations often emerge something gentle, almost soothing. Brusk is among those artists who turn the raw violence of reality into striking beauty.
His booth at the Urban Art Fair (admission fee required) offers visitors a chance to experience the culmination of his latest project. It's an opportunity to see the artist's work in a more formal, institutional setting—after first encountering his pieces outdoors, on a city street. A perfect way to complete the journey from street art to gallery, blending spontaneous street interventions with a polished exhibition.
