The story of art in the streets has never been just a visual one. It is inseparable from music, movement, performance, and cinema — from the early days of New York graffiti to the global resonance of Banksy’s street art. These connections are not side notes in history; they are part of its very structure.
Music and the body are at the core of this story. Together, they shaped entire cultural constellations — hip hop, afrofunk, punk, electro, rock — where sound, style, and visual expression evolved hand in hand. Fire on Fire. Art Music | Street Club Studio traces these crossovers, revealing how urban art and music have continuously mirrored, challenged, and amplified one another.
Presented at Galerie Poirel, the exhibition brings together nearly 150 works from private collections. Paintings, sculptures, costumes, videos, photographs, archival ephemera (tickets, posters, flyers), and iconic LP covers form a dense and vibrant landscape. From pioneers like Futura, Bando, Rammellzee, Doze Green, and Basquiat to contemporary figures such as Invader, Parra, Banksy, and Dran, Fire on Fire unfolds as a living archive — a shared history of streets, clubs, studios, and subcultures.
