Pol Cosmo

<div>Pol Cosmo likes his little wheatpaste bugs, but a larger work every now and then... why not. And these are at a special location: Ghent's red light district. Do you dare to go and see them? Don't worry, they are not dangerous.</div>

Red light insects

<div>-- The old house has been demolished at the end of 2021. ---&nbsp;<br>In 2017 the city museum STAM organised Drawing Days, including a competition for kids that wanted a new mural by Pol Cosmo in their neighbourhood. After a thight battle between several city areas, it was Ledeberg that got the big prize. And here's the result for the lucky kids.<br><br>A project by: STAM Gent for Drawing Days, with support from Stad Gent.</div>

REMOVED - Drawing Days competition

<div>Drawing Days 2017 was a 3 day festival about ... drawing. Pol Cosmo was invited to add his work to the city museum STAM. There was also a competition were kids from Ghent could send their insect drawings. The part of the city that had the most drawings in the end, also will get a mural by Pol Cosmo... Looking forward to that one, but we can already enjoy this one. Made during 3 days in very bad weather, but that didn't stop him.</div>

Drawing Days @ STAM

<div>This artist, who lives in the neighbourhood, presents his well known insects at this school... but no paste-up this time. This one is made with paint and is here to stay as long as possible.</div>

De Wijze Boom

<div>Pol Cosmo has been pasting insects (and sometimes other animals) in the streets for the last 3 years. It all started very small, but has grown very quickly. You can ask him to visit and pimp your house, he has t-shirts and other stuff. If you want to see these bugs, keep your eyes open. They come, fade and go all the time. If you spot some, you're lucky. On this location there are some, but they are spread all over town.&nbsp;</div>

Insects in the city

<div>Biggest aphid in the world? Who knows, it's big enough to never miss this one.<br>A commission for the owners of this house.</div>

<div>2 insects done, one more to go ...</div>

W.I.P.

<div>This public garden is now closed, the mural is no longer visible.&lt;br/&gt;<br>The first real mural by Pol Cosmo. In this public garden you will spot these bees. As these animals are very important for any garden, we should not forget them.</div>

De Bijgaard

Sabien Clement

<div>Pol Cosmo created some works with illustrator Sabien Clement. And why not place one in the streets. And who knows... more will follow?</div>
