386m² of canvas! A giant "Toto". It is with a monumental work that Bordeaux artist Jean-François Duplantier alias Jofo wanted to pay tribute to the nursing staff in the midst of the Covid-19 coronavirus epidemic. It was deployed this Friday noon on the facade of the Place de la Bourse in Bordeaux.
A canvas of 320 m2 to say #Thank you to all the caregivers. 👏👏👏 to the artist #JOFO and 🙏 to all the best wishes @CCIBdxGironde @prixtel @CHUBordeaux #mecenat @ clairecombes1 @rea_hsa Share around you pic.twitter.com/ 5IXgGA4VqX
- Mécénat_CHU_Bordeaux (@MecenatB) April 17, 2020We see the fetish character of the masked artist. He is surrounded by many "Thank You". This project was born thanks to the CCI Bordeaux Gironde with the support of the DRAC Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the company LightAir and the company "Prixtel" (telephone operator). The latter notably financed the manufacture of the canvas. "This work replaces the advertisements which participate in the financing of the restoration of the roof of the Palais de la Bourse", specifies the president of the CCI Patrick Seguin.
An online sale for the benefit of the CHU
The installation of this canvas will be followed by an online sale of 1,000 prints of the work of art "thank you" and another "get by without". The funds collected will be fully donated to the health professionals of the Bordeaux University Hospital. Jofo also puts from the start of confinement many coloring drawings for children on social networks.
