In the world of graffiti, you've got to push above and beyond those who were there before you - always going bigger and better. What happens when you take a classic piece of French art and push further? You can see it in this video. Street Artists Žilda and Rö put their creative brains together and re-created Jean-Joseph Weerts' "L'assassinat de Marat" of 1880 (which depicts the assasination of French radical Jean-Paul Marat at the hands of Charlotte Corday) in mixed media... pasting, painting, spray paint, wood pieces, fog... The result? Check out this video to find out.
