Hans Geyens

<div>On demand of Straatbeeld vzw, distribution network operator Eandis and city Leuven, Bisser worked together with Hans Geyens &amp; his American colleague Nils Westergard to give the electricity cabin at the end of the redersstraat some colors as well. By doing this, they want to contribute in a 'creative Leuven'!</div>

<div>Noses (neuzekes) are actually local candy: cuberdons. In this city we had (or perhaps still have) a war of the noses. This is something everyone knows about in Ghent. I could tell you the story here... but perhaps <a href="http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20170710-how-a-candy-divided-this-belgian-town">this page from the BBC just says it much better</a>. Just one thing: do taste them.<br><br>A project by: <a href="https://www.miramiro.be/">MiraMiro 2017</a> with support from stad Gent</div>

The idea of this mural came to me when I was thinking of what my father used to say: ‘Close that door! We are not heating the outside!’ So I thought it would be funny and interesting to paint this useless huge radiator outside.&nbsp;</div>

<div><strong>NEDERLANDS</strong> - In de zomer van 2019 werd er in Vilvoorde een campagne gelanceerd rond het evenement "De Zomer van Asiat".“ASIAT” is de naam van de voormalige legerkazerne waarvan de stad in 2018 de sleutels in handen kreeg. Het gebied werd tijdens de zomermaanden van 2019 opengesteld voor het grote publiek. Men kon er terecht voor allerlei culturele activiteiten alsook voor een hapje en een drankje. In de vroegere stookplaats van het leger hield BISSER (afkomstig uit Leuven) een kleine tentoonstelling van zijn werk. BISSER werd door de stad Vilvoorde ook uitgenodigd om de ASIAT-site (die 6 ha groot is) op te fleuren met Street Art. Zo voorzag hij een nutskast van vier fabelachtige figuren en versierde hij eveneens een muur. De nutskast transformeerde hij in een soort huis waar in elke kamer een wonderlijk wezen resideert. Deze raadselachtige wezens zijn typisch voor de stijl van BISSER. <br><br><strong>ENGLISH</strong> - In the summer of 2019, a campaign was launched in Vilvoorde around the event "The Summer of Asiat". "ASIAT" is the name of the former army barracks whose keys were given to the town in 2018. The area was opened to the general public during the summer months of 2019. The area was open to the general public during the summer months of 2019, offering all kinds of cultural activities as well as snacks and drinks. BISSER (from Leuven) held a small exhibition of his work in the former Army furnace. BISSER was also invited by the city of Vilvoorde to brighten up the ASIAT site (which covers 6 hectares) with Street Art. He provided a switch cabinet with four fabulous figures and also decorated a wall. He transformed the utility cupboard into a kind of house where in each room there is a wonderful creature. These enigmatic creatures are typical of BISSER's style.</div>

Bisser - "Portrait at Steelplaats"

<div>This mural is painted on the first floor of the museum ... a little surplus are the 2 works ( one is from artist Smates dating from 2011 ) and only visible from the nice roof terrace of the museum ! ( note/ There's a entrance fee to visit the museum )</div>

<div><strong>NEDERLANDS</strong> - Dit werk maakte BISSER (uit Leuven) eind 2015 in De Kruitfabriek.

Bisser - "Story"

<div>This artwork depicts the local "legend" of the town of Aarschot. The name of the city of Aarschot supposedly is a reference to the word "Arendschot", which roughly translates to "The Shooting of the Eagle".&nbsp; The place the Eagle fell down after being shot was where the city of Aarschot was created.&nbsp; Bisser painted this dead eagle buried under the ground. &nbsp;</div><div><br></div>

<div>"Onder de noemer “Missie Tivoli” sloegen MIJNLEUVEN en Kabaal (het kinderlabel van de stad Leuven) de handen in elkaar om de Tivolibrug in een nieuw kleurrijk kleedje te steken.<br>Eerst mochten kinderen en jongeren uit de buurt er hun graffitiskills uitproberen tijdens een leuke workshop. Een paar dagen later was het dan de beurt aan 18 Leuvense graffiti-artiesten onder wie Bisser om er met de spuitbus aan de slag te gaan en er een waar kunstwerk van te maken"- <a href="http://leveninleuven.be/"><strong>Leven in Leuven</strong></a><strong>, </strong>De Leuvense stadsblog</div><div><br></div>

Bisser - "Humaneater"

<div><strong>NEDERLANDS</strong> - Toen BISSER klaar was met de nutskast van vier fabelachtige figuren te voorzien, tekende hij op de nabijgelegen muur deze haai-octopus. Eigenlijk was dit een cadeautje voor de stad Vilvoorde want hierover waren geen afspraken gemaakt. Als fan van Bisser kunnen wij dit alleen maar toejuichen. <br><br><strong>ENGLISH </strong>- When BISSER had finished providing the switch cabinet with four fabulous figures, he drew this shark octopus on the nearby wall. Actually, this was a present for the town of Vilvoorde because no agreements had been made about this. As a fan of Bisser, we can only applaud this.&nbsp;</div>

<div><strong>NEDERLANDS</strong> - Welkom in de tuin van het Zennelab. BISSER is een kunstenaar uit Leuven (België). Hij studeerde animatie in Gent en moest zijn eerste jaar aan de Hogeschool overdoen, vandaar zijn artiestennaam. Zijn inspiratiebronnen zijn: zijn oudere broer, The Simpsons, de boeken van Kid Paddle en het Franse tijdschrift Graffbombz. Als scoutsleider leidde hij de AKABE. Dit zijn jonge mensen met een verstandelijke beperking. De manier waarop ze tekenden inspireerde hem ook. <br>De figuur is gebaseerd op een foto die BISSER vond in de krant. Het is eigenlijk de eerste muur die hij zo maakte. Voor BISSER was het eigenlijk een uitprobeersel. Er zit dus niet zo veel betekenis achter. <br><br><strong>ENGLISH</strong> - Welcome to the garden of the Zennelab. BISSER is an artist from Leuven (Belgium). He studied animation in Ghent and had to redo his first year at the Hogeschool, hence his artist name. His sources of inspiration are: his older brother, The Simpsons, the books of Kid Paddle and the French magazine Graffbombz. As a scouts leader he led the AKABE. These are young people with a mental disability. The way they drew also inspired him.<br>The figure is based on a picture BISSER found in a newspaper. It's actually the first wall he made like this. For BISSER it was actually a tryout. So there's not so much meaning behind it.</div>
