Street art festival Unexpected, which took place in Fort Smith, Arkansas, hosted numerous intriguing art projects this year, but everyone’s favorite was definitely Walala Pump & Go by French artist Camille Walala.
As her contribution to the festival, Walala decided to transform an old gas station into a colorful art installation. By using her distinctive pop style, characterized by vibrant geometrical patterns, she managed to highlight the building’s vintage characteristics while turning it into an architectural standout.
“I love this canvas — it was exciting to do something really bold, that stands out on a bigger scale,” said Walala. “We had a great team of people working with us for a few days, most of them were locals from Fort Smith who came to help and it has been an amazing execution of the project.”
Check out Walala’s process of making the installation and the finished piece below.
