The Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games have unveiled their official posters, created by French illustrator Ugo Gattoni, featuring a vibrant, detailed depiction of Paris.
The posters, inspired by Art Deco and surrealism, celebrate the unity of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, showcasing Paris's iconic landmarks and the spirit of the games.
Criticism from French conservatives and far-right figures has emerged over the absence of the Christian cross and French tricolour flags in the posters.
The posters aim to tell a story of joy, inclusivity, and the rich cultural heritage of Paris, integrating sports, landmarks, and historical references.
The creation of the posters involved over 2,000 hours of work by Gattoni, emphasizing manual artistry in the age of digital and AI-assisted design.
