French artist Charles Leval, who works as (), is attuned with the nonsensical and hapless, which he translates into clever site-specific works in craft paper and India ink. Often built off of public architecture like windows and sidewalks, his streetside wheatpastes either typify a bad day or find humor in the odd and absurd: new works feature an angry pack of dogs, a construction worker planting an already blooming flower in concrete, and a golfer putting into a drainpipe.

Currently, the artist is adding to his narrative-based project and will open a solo show at in London on March 25. Until then, find more of his works on , and pick up a print from
