A street art piece in Paris by COMBO, featuring Donald Duck characters vandalizing a wall. After the wall cleaner painted over the artwork, the artist returned to paint the cleaner himself wiping over the original painting.

Sometimes, the act of removing graffiti becomes art itself. In this intriguing piece, a graffiti remover is transformed into the subject of street art—oh, the irony!

This playful artwork invites viewers to see everyday actions in a whole new light.

COMBO: made his piece on this wall in Paris (France), then the cleaner came and painted the wall. Then the artist came and painted the cleaner wiping his painting. When someone fights your creativity, absorb it and create again.

COMBO: All real. I made it in Paris, the wall was next my house. This why i was Lucky catching the guy cleaning. I had to made the tag again to fit the pic.
