Who doesn’t know the Beatles? This iconic 1960s band, founded by four friends, revolutionized the world of music. Next February, painter Michel Bouvet will pay tribute to them, almost 60 years after their breakup, in a series of 33 paintings illustrating the band’s most beautiful songs. And it’s completely free!
A free exhibition on the Beatles in Paris
Starting February 18, and for only five days, artist Michel Bouvet will exhibit around thirty paintings at the Ateliers de Paris gallery in the 12th arrondissement. These colorful pop paintings perfectly illustrate the British band’s greatest hits.

“Strawberry Fields Forever,” “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” “All You Need Is Love,” “Lovely Rita”… Eachimage, with its bright, pop colors, is an interpretation of the Beatles’ most iconic songs. This was a long-term project for the artist, a Beatles fan who spent over a thousand hours working on this exhibition in order to best convey the emotions felt in each song. With music being the common thread running through these works,the idea of creating 33 images (like a 33 rpm record) came naturally.
