Toulouse, France Introduces Modern Art to Public Transit
Jennifer Astle — December 18, 2008 — Art & Design
Artists are introducing style to the subway system in Toulouse, France. Imagine you are walking down the street on a rainy day, off to ride public transit yet another time. Of course, you feel good about your decision to do this, but still you have to enter that gloomy box that seems to lead into the pits of hell (or at least, that has been my experience).
Why not make the entrance to hell a little nicer? These artists are applying modern pixel art to subway entrances in bright colors and beautiful designs that could cheer up any commuter.
My only question is this: Does everything have to be beautiful in France?
