These questions emerge as soon as we take the time to look into their eyes and come into contact with these faces. Could they then come to life to share with us their struggle in hiding, in the African desert or in the skies over England? Applied to everyday objects from the war years - radio, newspapers, cameras, gaiters or bowls - the artist's mixed technique makes us familiar with these men and women with exceptional careers. It is this closeness that awakens our interest in this or that figure and that edifies us by making them pass from the shadows to the light.

To reach all audiences, C215 has painted these same portraits of Companions on street furniture in the Invalides district. A link chosen by the artist as a bridge between the outside and the inside. Each visitor is thus invited to continue the discovery of these works in the 7th arrondissement and to wonder about the civic values embodied by these representatives of the "Army of Shadows".

The exhibition can be visited until May 8, 2022
