INTERVIEW

It is not among the first personalities that one would imagine being arrested one day by the anti-crime squad.

The stylist and designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, however, had to do the BAC in 2018, while he was drawing on a wall of the National Assembly.

An experience that he recounts on Sunday on Europe 1, on the occasion of his invitation to the program by Isabelle Morizet 

There is not only one life in life

.

His unfinished work aimed to denounce the plight of migrants.

"It went very badly," recalls the artist.

"I saw Pauline, my wife, waving to me, but I continued to draw. In fact, I did a drawing about migrants crossing the Channel."

If he was drawing on a wall in the National Assembly, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac does not believe he has defied the law.

"I was arrested by three officers in bulletproof vests"

"It was on a surface which is also said to be authorized, since it was on a temporary plywood construction," he explains.

"Otherwise, I would not have intervened with Posca felt. But in general, I only intervene with chalk. I make this typology of drawings. That is why my last book is called

Off-Road Drawings.

. "

"Suddenly, I was stopped by three officers in bulletproof vests," says the artist. And the police officers of the anti-crime squad have little tasted of its justification. “I had a good time talking!” He sums up with a burst of laughter.
