You can find French duo Ella & Pitr’s Giants, a series of illustrated comic-book stylised characters playfully snoozing their way around the globe, adorning rooftops, runways, homes, shipping containers and even fields. In 2019 they claimed a world record for the largest outdoor mural with a piece in Paris, beating out their initial record breaking mural created in Stavanger in 2015 which saw two of their characters cradling each other across a series of rooftops.In 2015, Ella & Pitr created a three dimensional wrap around diptych on two homes situated 100 meters apart. A male and female giant are cramped and contorted to fit within the wall space allotted to their bodies by the scale of the houses they are painted on. Upon closer inspection, site-specific symbolism is evident in the pattern work upon their clothing, rising storm clouds, and embellishments of Norwegian currency.
