Chinese street artist DALeast painted in Lyon, France. Lyon was the epicentre of the ‘PAINT RED SAVE LIVES’ campaign, due to the Global Fund Replenishment Conference, attended by global leaders in October 2019. The (RED) Global Fund reached full replenishment of $14 Billion USD! This money will help save 16 million lives and cut the mortality rate from HIV, TB and malaria in half.

DALeast painted a majestic eagle in flight in his signature style. DALeast decided to keep the artworks already on the wall in situ. Here he explains why …
“…you might have noticed different styles beneath the bird, during the process of creating it, I decided to keep the artworks that were already there instead of covering them up. This way, it feels like a collaboration with all the artists who left their trace there. Much like the global fight against AIDS. I hope we can work and take off all together, leave the crisis behind.” DALeast Instagram
The striking mural is a beautiful shift of purple, reds and blue colours…
