Paris will kick off the Olympic games this summer, to great fanfare. The global sporting event should see exciting records broken,  and new stories told.

One of the official artists commemorating the games is Ugo Gattoni, a French illustrator with a love for large, highly detailed illustrative work.

Spending more than 2,000 hours on these commissioned posters, Gattoni shows us the result of his work. A menagerie of venues and landmarks, interwoven with athletes, spectators, and more.

Celebrating both the Olympics and Paralympics in these posters, the highly detailed work invites viewers to lean forward and investigate the charming details held within.

Look closely, and you’ll see some of the newest summer Olympics events represented, including breaking, sport climbing, skateboarding and surfing.
