Giles Cypres (+330610266647, gille_cypres@haotmail.com) works on a very large mural in the Paris Catacombs. This is Giles 3rd and most elaborate pinting in the catacombs. It is based on (amoung aother things) Arnold Boecklin's Island of the Dead painting from 1883 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Arnold_Boecklin_-_Island_of_the_Dead,_Third_Version.JPG) The painting is beneith the Metro 4 line but takes a 5 km hike through the catacombs to reach. Giles and friends hauled nearly a ton of materials into the catacombs to prepare the site and do the painting.
