Official video clip of the Batiplus il salon 2011 , check it here !!
Recently i’ve been commissioned by my old friend sarah she work for this big design furniture contemporary Batiplus .My job was to do during the night some giant skecthes of the designers and guests invited for the second edition « Batiplus il salone » Honnestly it was a hard task to quickly capture the faces, the poses of the people ,but it was a funny and a good exercice to dodge around people with their glass of red wine and me hanging with my brush fresh of paint ^^.
However here is the result of this night and few pics.



I would like to thanks all the people of BATIPLUS particularly Sarah Michellod , and the heads of the company who gave me this opportunity Nicolas Brunner,Pierre Jutzi , Urs Lüscher & Gabriele Rossi.
