French Artist Alain Godon in Miami Beach
On Tuesday, December 9, a private cocktail reception was held at the exclusive restaurant La Piaggia Beach Club in South Beach where Executive South Florida Magazine, a leading business publication, presented the 2015 Miami Beach City Report to Mayor Philip Levine and other city officials.
Internationally renowned French artist Alain Godon was commissioned by the City of Miami Beach to design the report with his signature artwork depicting several Miami Beach locations and buildings. Godon is known for his free figuration drawing of caricature figures mixed with graffiti concepts and digital alterations through his very own BildoReliefo (meaning “three dimensional images”) technique that was introduced to the public in 2008.
