Unlike most street artist L'Atlas (real name Jules Dedet Granel), doesn't use color, or round shapes for that matter, this artist is different from most out there he uses lines and calligraphy in a way that the public gets confused and intrigued by it. He has studied calligraphy in several countries world wide and has developed his own typography, he uses this to create art in the streets of the world. He started doing this in the streets of Paris in the early 90's using spray paint, then in 2001 he changed from spray paint to Scotch tape. He makes labyrinths in the floors and walls of big cities, which atract turist and people all over the world. He uses lines and geometric shapes to create art pieces and is recognized world wide for them. For example this work right here is a compass made up of lines that are interesting to the eye and are really a different way of seeing things. His labyrinths in the floors are on of the things that have made him the most famous and really make him an astonishing artist. L'Atlas is an amazing yet different artist that should be recognized as both a calligraphist and an artist
