Floe Florence Mousset is a French artist who has a background in traditional graphic design art. She has created many graphic designs that have been used in adverts, on t-shirts and tote bags, on coffee cups and skateboards. At times, Floe Mousset has turned her hand to creating street art murals that feature big, busty women and are usually painted on a large scale so that her attractive painted ladies smile down on their appreciative viewers on the streets below.
When painting graffiti murals, Mousset uses the nick FLOE. Her street art characters are cartoonish; with strong black outlines and flat areas of bright color. She adds detail and texture to her art works with dots, dashes, lines and patterns that create the impression of fabric, hair or skin textures. Her female graffiti characters are full-bodied and dressed in enticing lingerie or stylish fashions. Their clothing have patterns of leopard print, flowers or polka dots, which are patterns that have been used to decorate women’s apparel for decades and are symbolic of fashions from our current era. The clothing that Floe’s graffiti girls wear are symbols of human urbanisation and the contemporary culture that has emerged in response to modern city living. Both the imagery in Floe’s street art murals and the style that she paints in are very modern, resembling pop art of the mid-20th century and 2D animation styles that have been developing over the last century.
Floe’s curvy gals smile mysteriously and wink flirtatiously, creating a uniquely feminine allure that is not often found in street art murals. Perhaps this is because Floe is a female street artist and she knows from her own personal life experience the power that an attractive woman has. Perhaps this feminine allure is missing from most street art paintings simply because the vast majority of artists who display their designs on urban walls are male and they focus on more masculine forms of expression.

This is a close-up of the collaborative mural painting by Hobz and Floe that shows a woman in lingerie and a hissing snake entangled with a wooden cross. The references to Christian morality and the story of Eve being tempted by the serpent in the Garden of Eden is very clear in this piece. There is an eye on the cross that looks down on the female character in a judgmental way – a reference to the belief that all temptation and seduction comes from women, not from men. [source]
