Mural Name: Fleur du Bitume

Artist: Simon Beuve

Artist Bio:

Simon Beuve is a French/Australian artist originally from Normandy. In 2000 he discovered the graffiti movement and moved to Paris to be part of the main urban art scene in France. He now lives and works in Melbourne, creating murals and paintings.

Simon’s work has evolved from the street onto the canvas with a gestural and abstract aesthetic, exploring the essence of city life, the urban environment, and its impact on society. His work is inspired by all the little details and layers our day-to-day environment has to offer which are often overlooked as mistakes. 

This for him is the foundation of emotion and energy. These ephemeral unintentional marks of life are captured and translated to paintings, collages and assemblage. 

Simon’s work has been presented at several solo and group shows, publications and street art festivals worldwide. He exhibited his first solo show in Melbourne in 2015 and has since dedicated the majority of his time to studio work, honing his aesthetic and exploring the conceptual basis of his practice.

Throughout his career, Simon has developed a passion for self-expression and a determination to showcase and share that self-expression with others. Through workshops, artist collaborations, and mentorship, Simon continues to seek new paths of discovery to expand his own practice and inspire the creative journey of others.

Description of Artwork:

Fleur du Bitume blooms from the urban fabric, merging seamlessly with its surroundings. Its marks echo the city’s textures—sweeping strokes reflect metallic facades, while fractured patterns mimic scaffolding and shifting shadows.

The palette is drawn from the streets: steel grays, rusted oranges, and deep charcoals. Shapes fold and unfold like architectural blueprints rewritten by the pulse of the city.

More than a mural, Fleur du Bitume is a conversation with its environment—a reflection of the city’s ever-evolving form.
