Artist Le CyKlop is decorating the streets of France with LEGO and Minion-inspired creatures. The French street artist uses yellow spray paint and his own sticker designs to create his series of Angry L'éGO caricatures. The public art boasts an anthropomorphic design, as Le CyKlop uses stickers of eyes and mouths to complete each piece.
Thus far, the artist has brought his Angry L'éGO series to different communes such as Pantin, Colombes, and Montreuil. Each spray-painted bollard boasts distinct and expressive facial features, ranging from happy smiles to mischievous grins and from fearful mouths to angry brows. The artist aims to "break free from conventional supports such as walls or canvas, to invest in the objects."
