LEGALLAIS & Art
“Art to illustrate the secondary work of construction? It’s obvious when our clients are true ARTISTS, and the connection between the world of ART and that of ARTisans is so close – entrusting the creation of an original piece each year, for over 10 years, to a renowned street artist. This is also what it means to be a company committed to you and with you!”
An artistic culture at the heart of the company
It all began in 2011 with catalog covers that evolved and stood out, introducing a decidedly artistic and unconventional touch to the construction market. The benefits are numerous: uniting our internal and external stakeholders around a shared, dynamic project and promoting ART, ARTisanship, and our ARTisan clients. The idea is also to make art vibrant and accessible to everyone, to share it, and to make it resonate beyond traditional venues like museums or galleries.
“Artist and artisan, it’s just a question of letters”: Chanoir
Internally, the exhibition and creation of original artworks within LEGALLAIS premises foster team cohesion and involve employees in unifying events. LEGALLAIS’ artistic commitment has now become a key element of its identity. Headquarters, logistics warehouses, building facades… artworks adorn the walls, infusing unparalleled creativity into the daily lives of employees. Externally, LEGALLAIS stands out with a unique and distinctive approach – a true artistic signature that leaves no one indifferent and sets it apart in the world of secondary construction. Because LEGALLAIS is LEGALLAIS!
For over 10 years, a new story has been written each year with a contemporary artist, inspired by a new graphic style and imagining a new artistic universe. After VanLuc, De Caroline, Chanoir, Jo Di Bona, Astro, Bishop Parigo, Le Cyklop, Jace, Skwak, Speedy Graphito, PIOTRE, Vinie, this year it is Jef Aérosol’s turn to share his vision of our craft.

Jef Aérosol, artist of the year – Master of stencil graffiti
Since the early 1980s, Jef Aérosol has left his mark on public spaces with his black-and-white stencils, where a single red arrow disrupts the composition, grabs attention, and sparks curiosity. This detail has become his signature.
Through portraits of anonymous people or famous figures, the artist creates a deeply humanistic and emotive body of work, focused on the essentials.
“I am always amazed every time I lift a stencil after spraying it, when I see the result. The magic always works!” – Jef Aérosol
Jef Aérosol’s style – A vibrant tribute to artisans
With the piece “ARTisanat …”, Jef Aérosol pays homage to all professionals in finishing work: electricians, plumbers, installers, fitters, carpenters, painters, locksmiths, roofers, and heating specialists. They are the hands that build, renovate, and maintain. Through their precise gestures and technical expertise, they shape our daily lives.
“ARTisanat …” will feature on the cover of the 2026 catalog as well as on the sails of the Class40 LEGALLAIS during the Route du Rhum in November 2026. This allows the artwork to be shared with the largest audience, making it accessible and visible to everyone.
