Where to find street art in Saint-Leu (Réunion)
Jace, born in Le Havre in 1973, created his first gouzou in 1990 on the walls of Saint-Denis while studying biology on Réunion Island. This small orange faceless figure — with no hands or feet — became the defining image of island urban art. Saint-Leu hosted the artist's first public commissions, including a mural on the pelota wall, anchoring his work in the local landscape.
The gouzous spread to the most inaccessible spots around the territory. The Route des Tamarins bridge, the cliffs of Cap la Houssaye, and the Rivière des Galets bridge rank among the most photographed sites. Jace favors ravines, bridge pillars, and rocky walls — surfaces that transform his characters into surprising, often humorous scenes far above the ground.
Today the gouzous appear in roughly thirty countries, from Le Havre and Paris to Rome, Amsterdam, Bali, Macau, and Tokyo. In 2015, Jace was commissioned to paint panels on Paris's Pont des Arts following the removal of the padlocks. His practice moves between institutional commissions, gallery exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo and in Cape Town, and spontaneous interventions in urban and natural spaces worldwide.
