Julien de Casabianca is a French visual artist and filmmaker. The artist initiated The Outings Project in 2014, where he transports paintings from museum walls into the street by photographing works at local museums and creating paste-ups on city walls. De Casabianca found his inspiration from the project when he visited the Louvre Museum and saw a painting by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres placed in a corner, seemingly forgotten. Wanting to liberate the artwork, he came up with the idea of taking the image to the street. Since then, numerous museums worldwide have invited him to engage with their collections and merge the perceptions of classical and street art. By bringing well-known works traditionally only seen in a museum context to the street, The Outings Projects brings these canonical works to a new audience of city dwellers and passersby.
