<div>Gomad ensures that these hands symbolize the craft of our manufacturing industry in our municipality.
<br>The shapes released by the upper hand are old crafts that have been symbolically given a new contemporary look. Almost abstract shapes, but always with a recognition from the past. So you see the grain in loose shapes, the leather, grolse mitt, etc.
<br>The bottom hand likes to catch these new forms. Lichtenvoorde does not stand still, but keeps moving.
<br>Sometimes we are contrary and we choose our own way (the "church window")</div>

<div>Artist GOMAD used the passage to the Adwaita courtyard as a canvas for this unique mural. The namesake of the courtyard, the poet Adwaita, is the focal point. He is surrounded by flora and fauna, a nod to Brahmanism, an Indian philosophy from which Adwaita drew inspiration for his poems.</div><div><br></div><div>GOMAD held onto his unique style, in which eyes, plants, animals and organic colour forms play an important role, but also crawled into Adwaita's head. He delved into a text about the Hindu God Brahmâ, who, as the story goes, created a woman, with whom he himself fell in love. She tried to escape his lovestruck stares, but each time Brahmâ grew another head so he could keep looking at her.<br><br></div><div>GOMAD draws the viewer into the story with piercing eyes looking anxiously at the courtyard. What else is there to see?&nbsp; Come take a look for yourself. Once inside the courtyard, the portrait of J. Dèr Mouw (Adwaita) will<a >[LB1]</a>&nbsp; gaze upon you with a look of satisfaction.<br><br></div><div>This mural was created in March 2020 at a time when everything seemed to stand still.&nbsp; Homebound residents saw a work of art coming alive right in front of them.&nbsp; It has given a bright spot for the residents, a more beautiful entrance to the Adwaita courtyard and positive energy for the city.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI_5ONwUJxE">Making of video</a><br><br>Artist: GOMAD (Marcus Debie)&nbsp;</div><div>Location: Adwaita Courtyard</div><div>Date: March 2020</div><div>Made possible by: Residents Hof van Adwaita, Street Art Streets, WijDeventer, Municipality of Deventer, Wonen Boven Winkels</div>

<div>&nbsp;This mural portrays a young woman in grief after her lover was killed in a violent altercation. The girl glances up towards the sky, hoping to catch a glimpse of him in paradise. The cardinal bird, which symbolises the beloved, informs us that he will live on in the hearts of those who love him. Flowers provide comfort because they allow us to communicate with the departed without words. The rose in her hair, in particular, is a symbol of love and transience. The piece is a tribute to Raffaele Cesarano, a victim of absurd group violence.&nbsp;<br><br>Marcus Debie, better known as GOMAD, is a colorblind Dutch artist. He was born in the city of Sittard in the south of Holland in 1972, where he currently lives and works. GOMAD began his creative career in the early 1980s in the Southern Dutch graffiti scene, heavily influenced by the legendary films ‘Beat Street' and 'Style Wars.' So much so that he is regarded as a pioneer in that region. His art is described as the apex of post-neo cubism. He combines oil paint, acrylics, and sprays in a colorful manner to create compositions that fuse photorealistic pictures in a mind-bending surrealistic setup against cubistic and organic shapes. He presently works as an international urban fine artist and muralist, creating murals and paintings for shows around the world.&nbsp;</div>

<div>A colorful mural appeared n Panningen in july 2022.<br>"It will be a colorful whole with elements that refer to Panningen." For example, a windmill blade is depicted in the painting, because there used to be a mill in Panningen. There are also many natural elements to see, such as a pheasant, butterfly and flowers and plants.<br>The inspiration for the portrait is my wife Nancy, a little bit pimped . She looks a bit worried because the theme and message of this mural is Mother Nature, and she is worried about the nature, worldwide insect mortality, wildfires and global warming to name a few.<br><br>Artist interview on youtube:&nbsp;<br>https://youtu.be/9pJ4FV0JDvg</div>

A birds view

<div>In 1984, at the age of 12, I came into contact with hiphop culture for the first time. This is when I started painting graffiti myself and started rapping and breakdancing. So my roots go way back in the old school hiphop scene.&nbsp;<br><br>Over the years my style has changed from graffiti to urban art or muralism as I prefer to call it. However, I still do a lot of my work with spray paint.<br><br>Staying with the theme of hiphop and breakdance/b-boying, I didn't want to interpret it too literally, as my current style consists of portraits, animals and flowers, friendly in character and modest use of colors. However, the hiphop vibe is often the opposite. In order to stay close to my style and still be able to apply this theme, I came up with the following.<br><br>We decided on a photo that shows me and my wife Nancy in a pose similar to some b-boy freezes, but in a surrealistic imagery and setting by turning the photo 90 degree’s.&nbsp;<br><br>In the same way, I replaced the boombox/ghetto blaster, that was cool to carry on the shoulder back then, with a classic gramophone record player. This is also how I make the connection to DJing and scratching. I replaced the speaker horn with a flower.<br><br>The flower symbolizes the city of Wuppertal, which grows in a characteristic way through street art, like flowers of every kind and color, just as the Wuppertal community does.<br><br>And the bird is just something I like to paint and also stands for freedom of speech and expression.&nbsp;<br><br>#marcusgomaddebie #urbaner_kunstraum_wuppertal<br>#mural #murals #streetart #graffitiart #muralart #graffiti&nbsp; #muralismo #urbanart #urbancontemporaryart #urbancontemporary &nbsp;#artoftheday&nbsp; #artistsoninstagram&nbsp; #muraloftheday #streetartist #muralartist #urbanartist #graffitiartist #graffitism #graff #postgraffiti #artist #wuppertal #art #artwork #streetartwuppertal #instagraff #graffuturism #arturbain&nbsp;</div>

<div>The design shows a young woman who does
<br>not want to be fully visible in the picture due to
<br>privacy rules. She hides under a big hat and long
<br>coat. But, does she remain anonymous, or is it
<br>‘false security’.
<br>The woman symbolizes ‘Mother Nature’. She
<br>is holding a bouquet of peonies whose stalks
<br>overflow into the cell phone’s charging cable.
<br>This symbolizes humans who have lost their
<br>‘connection’ with nature due to the many
<br>technological developments.
<br>The mobile has a bird sitting on it, again a
<br>reference to the ‘forgotten’ nature and also
<br>the symbol of an important social networking
<br>site. Social media plays a more important role
<br>than nature nowadays. People should start to
<br>appreciate nature more and be less concerned
<br>with the ‘screen culture’.</div>

Privacy matters

<div>A solo project of 6 floors high. I title this one ‘Hidden Jewel’ because this corner mural is hidden between two buildings. It’s Mother Nature looking away from the spectator, maybe because she’s worried about the world and what people do with it.&nbsp;</div>
