A Floral Mural by Sophie Mess in Reims
Known for her striking, large-scale botanical compositions, Sophie Mess brings her internationally recognised visual language to the Champagne region with a piece that radiates colour, energy, and stunning intensity. Her mural unfolds across the wall in a sweeping composition of luminous florals, where delicate gradients of violet, blush, and blue merge with remarkable precision. The petals appear sculptural, creating a sense of movement and depth that transforms the concrete surface.

Sophie Mess has developed a global presence through her distinctive floral works, which often evokes vitality, connection and calm. In Reims, this balance feels especially resonant. The mural carries an international narrative that began in New York City, where Sophie Mess spent time in the studio of artist Doan Ly.

Immersed in a process of arranging flowers and capturing their forms through photography, this period of exchange became a quiet foundation for the work now realised in Reims. Titled Shared Connection, the mural reflects this cross-cultural dialogue, tracing a line from an intimate studio setting in New York to a monumental public surface in the Champagne region. In this way, the piece embodies not only a study of botanical form, but also the relationships and shared moments that shape Mess’s evolving practice.

Part of the POP WOMEN Festival in Reims
The project forms part of the POP WOMEN Festival, reinforcing a commitment to celebrating female artistic voices within public space. It has been led by the Reims-based female artist duo MAT x ZEKKY, whose dedication over the past five years has been instrumental in establishing the Reims Wall as a platform for contemporary art.

A Growing Cultural Landscape in Reims
The initiative has been made possible through the support of key partners including Champagne AYALA, Crédit Agricole Nord Est, Hotel Mercure Farman, Brasserie L’Ardoise, and Lycées Saint Jean Baptiste. Stunning photography captured by Romain Berthiot.
Looking ahead, the momentum continues with a second large-scale mural set to be unveiled in Reims in the near future, further enriching the city’s evolving visual landscape.
