Visual Interview French Muralist Lucas Beaufort Paints His Thoughts
Lucas Beaufort approaches painting the same way he skateboards – with energy, precision, and fearlessness. Traveling around the world to paint murals and skate rails, this French-born artist is always inspired by the cultures around him, creating scenes of abstract figures tangled in the hustle and bustle of a city. Some of these city-inspired murals can be seen at W Hotels around the world, from the tall walls of W Bangkok to the windows of W Los Angeles to designing elements of W Singapore… and many more to come in 2019.

We asked Beaufort to answer our questions in the ways he knows best – through his colorful, energetic, and ready-for-anything painting style.
