Always great to see residents take up the task to brighter up their street in any way they can. These cute furry little raccoons painted on the walls of the Papillon toy store caught my eye as I on my way to see the Bondael Project mural by the Propaganza collective.

Further down ChaussÃ©e de Boondael at #212 was a lovely little window display of various types of stuffed toys with everything from fruits and veggie to Maya the bee looking fellows.

At number 250 ChaussÃ©e de Boondael, another resident took up to decorate his window welcoming the spring and wishing peace upon the world.

Conceptissimo In The City

written by Vincent

An artist going under the pseudonym of Noccito decided to brighten up the city of Brussels by doing an experimental “Conceptissimo In The City” exhibit in the streets of Brussels. This consisted placing places framed flower arrangements in the urban environment of our Capital.

Conceptissimo In The City originally took place between Easter and Assumption Day of 2019. While most only survived a few days or just hours, some did manage to last for months and surprisingly enough a few are still there to this day a year after. Pictures in this post are the two I stumbled on these two this summer attached to trees of in front of the Sainte-Croix church while walking around the Ixelles pond on a scorching hot summer day.

The two surviving Conceptissimo In The City flower arrangements can be found at: Place Sainte-Croix, 1050 Ixelles, Brussels, Belgium

Breaking Borders mural by Delicious Brains

This beautiful mural was commissioned in 2017 by Parcours Streetart. Sadly to this date no information could be found on their site about the project. The only information found on the internet was on the Delicious Brains website where a brief description by the project Swedish artist was mentioned and can read below.

Breaking Borders by Delicious Brains (2017) — â€œBreaking Bordersâ€ mural by Artist Kim Deman aka Delicious Brains is found at rue des Palais Outre-Ponts 387, Brussels, Belgium

â€œThis wall illustrates an imaginary wall, conditioned to have us move behind material borders. But with self-belief a border is bendable with just a thought. Yet they try separate us with physical walls. This portal expresses the desire to break free from the concrete jungles that are big cities. I see it as a Concrete Cocoon released and breaking a â€˜impression barrier.”
Quoted by artist Kim DemÃ¥ne better known as Delicious Brains

The First Date Mural by Oli-B

The colorful mural entitled: “The First Date Mural” is the work of artist Olivier BinamÃ© aka Oli-B. Commissioned at the request of the residents neighborhoods committee it was painted on a wall of a house recently purchased by five young fans of the artist.

The First Date mural is located at the corner of rue du Tocsin & rue Jenneval, Brussels, Belgium

“The purpose of the painting here was to make people dream. The abstract composition allows each spectator to come up with they very own interpretation. For me, it was a search for a balance between shapes and colorsâ€.
Oli-B

Regarding the street art, Olivier BinamÃ© went on to say that Brussels had in the past too long remained frozen on the theme of comic strips murals which left little space for anything else. And of course, compared to other capitals, we are a good decade behind! But luckily things are changing and several people working within the city of Brussels cultural affairs have been opening up the space to graffiti artists which is quite exciting for us.

Commissioned by visit.brussels, the ASBL Urbana Project has been putting creativity of both local and international artists at the service of the Region to brighten up the walls of several districts of Brussels.

The “Au pied dâ€™un arbre” mutal or at the foot of a tree in English, serves as a symbol of genealogy, where both old and new generations come together. This meeting, which is a source of discussion, represents the strong bond and hope essential to building the world of tomorrow.

NEAN is a Belgian street graffiti artist who grew up in Brussels. Self-taught, he made his debut on paper before turning to spray paint. In 2014, he joined the famous Belgian collective Propaganza, made up of around twenty artists from Belgium, France, Spain and England. Influenced by traditional painting and digital art, his work gravitates between an experimental style and photo realism. Curious about everything, he multiplies the tests on large supports, alternating digital painting, painting on wall and painting on canvas.
