Dutot is a respected Australian-based French street artist. He is known especially for his public mural of 'Oucha' a woman with cat in Edgecliff, Sydney. Educated at the École des Beaux-Arts in Caen, Dutot emigrated to Australia in 1987 and promptly began infusing Sydney with French style by painting walls in various locations. 'Rochelle' is most famously displayed on the wall at the intersection of New South Head Rd and Darling Point Rd, Edgecliff. This iconic painting, best seen travelling East on New South Head Rd, dates back to the mid-1980s and has developed into a community project.
