Sophie Pujas Publishes New Street Art Book 'Poésie urbaine' on October 15, 2026
On October 15, 2026, Sophie Pujas will unveil her latest work, "Street art – Poésie urbaine," marking ten years since her debut volume. This new book comprises five chapters and thirty portraits that highlight urban artists who reimagine public spaces into narratives filled with poetic expressions, haikus, collages, mosaics, and trompe-l'œil. The creativity exhibited plays with scale across various surfaces, including facades, sidewalks, and street furniture. A graduate of Fémis and originally from Paris, Pujas is also known for her novels such as Z.M (2013), Maraudes (2015), and Les Homards sont immortels (2022), along with her contributions to children's literature and urban art publications.
