<div>Mr. Leenknecht found this new quote ideal for this project. He had arrived at a crucial time in life, these words expressing his state of mind. Locatelli placed a mysterious looking face in bright colors to add to the words' mystery.<br><br>Part of the big graffiti jam project from 2014. Tramway road!

Semor the Mad One

<div>After their collab some years ago Steve Locatelli and Rise One of the graffiti crew Aerosolkings were back in the same street.<br>Together with fellow graffiti artists Pout and Semor they painted a beautifull mural in the beginning of this dead end street.<br><br>(April 2016)</div>

Skull Graffiti

<div>Locatelli worked together with 2 other artists (Derm &amp; Eva Mouton) on this wall, 80 m wide on 9 m high. 
<br>For 2 weeks they worked on this on demand of the raiway company NMBS. Steve choose fashion as theme for his piece.
<br>After a year of negotiating Steve got the green light and NMBS gave him "carte blanche" to do his thing. He wanted this topspot bad, cause when you drive to Antwerp coming from Holland, the first thing you will see is these colorful walls.

<div>Just like the other artists here, Steve Locatelli made this mural for the 'Concrete' festival in 2013 at the Camilo Torres Kuleuven student residence betweenBrusselsestraat and Kaboutermansstraat. This project was organised by "Happy Campers" in collab with the Kuleuven and Jeugdcentrum Vleugel F. They decided to invite some artists to create some nice murals on this building to make it more attractive &amp; to prevent illegal graffiti.<br><br></div>

<div>If you're making a very long wall, what better thing to paint than a big and long whale? Mr. Leenknecht added some giant letters to add some drama.<br>A small part is gone due to contruction works, but all still looks good. Best way to see this is from the over side of the canal.</div>

We Fish better than Fish

<div>In a dead-end-street in Borgerhout you can find this beautifull wall, colorful and stylish. If you look at it for a while you'll notice she'll stare right back.<br><br>(february 2012)</div>

<div>After two editions between Brussels and Louvain-La-Neuve in 2010 and 2012, the festival returned in the summer of 2015 in Belgium and stopped in three cities in the image of the three regions: Brussels, Louvain-La-Neuve and Aalst. The goal of this 2015 edition was to create a real feature of union between the three regions and communities around collective murals, throughout the summer. Every urban landscape&nbsp;<br>will propose a vision and a personalized approach to the 2015 theme: "Utopia", a theme that will be interpreted by all artists through extraordinary collaborations.<br><br>The Brussels edition is dedicated to Belgian artists such as Oli-B, Denis Meyers, Parole, Steve Locatelli, Defo, Dzia, Bart Smates, Aien ... While Louvain-La-Neuve will host international artists such as: Isaac Cordal, The Weird, Tyrsa, Remed, Vyzion or Zumi ... While in Aalst, we will find the collectives of organizing artists: Farm Prod, Mac crew, Aerosol Bridge Club mixed with a selection of Dutch-speaking and French-speaking artists.</div>

Kosmopolite Art Tour 2015

<div><br><br>Locatelli is een Belgisch hedendaags kunstenaar die zijn street art carrière begon in de Brusselse metro in de jaren ’90.<br>Ondertussen heeft hij in binnen- en buitenland naam gemaakt met zijn kleurrijke stukken, waarin schedels een vaak terugkerend motief vormen.&nbsp;</div><div>Na een verblijf in Ronse liet hij zich voor het werk inspireren door de crypte.&nbsp; Het werk is een verwijzing naar de relieken van Sint-Hermes.<br><strong>Locatie: </strong>parking achter het stadhuis van Ronse, op een gevel van het stadhuis<br><br></div>

<div>You find this wall at the tunnel under the tourism office. Do mind... it can be dark and slippery.<br>This wall shows some of the highlights and famous faces from Ghent: the castle, the fish market, movie stars (hey, we have a great movie festival!) ... The idea is that the black lights create reflections from the paint on the walls, but the lights often don't work at the moment.<br>This wall was made in 2012 when the very first street art tour was presented to the public.</div>

<div>At the "Desguinlei" between the city centre and the highway you can find this beautifull building standing tall and alone.&nbsp;<br>Steve Locatelli used the 700m² of facade to create a green forrest with birds flying and where the sunlight comes peeping through. You can also spot some treehouses, reffering to the temporary housing of homeless people in the building.&nbsp;<br>This former administration building of Antwerp is going to make room for a new school project. This was planned for 2013, but until now you can still enjoy this green Urban Jungle.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>(December 2012)</div>

<div>"&nbsp;Fissures and flaws. Surface cracks and deep scars. Tangible pangs: Our world is riddled with them. It hints at breaking, splitting, snapping, but this giant rock never caves to its torment. This is an homage to our home and the infinite stone it’s yielded us. "<br>Zenith photographed these so-called defects all over the world, then magnified and painted them somewhere else on the planet. This is a form of gratitude, announcing there’s glory in imperfection, triumph in pain and echoed connections everywhere.<br><br>Corona has rocked our core and proven our frailty again....death is all around.... hence the skull you can detect through the cracks. It’s a colorful one though.... representing the hope that the suffered losses inspire us to reflect on how we lived and how to grow from this.<br><br>One love to all the health workers around the world putting their life on the line to save others. The green on the wall is for you, it symbolises your work garment</div>

Diamond city

<div>The last part from the graffiti jam from 2008. Underneath the start of a highway. Most of the times there are cars in front of the walls...<br>Some artists that really needed their own spot. And with good results: a typicall skull by Locatelli and cartoon like figures by the JaSta crew.<br><br>A project by: graffiti vzw, Stad Gent ...</div>

<div>Demolished in 2021.<br>&nbsp;<br>Mr. Leenknecht and Steve Locatelli worked together several times, this is really a masterpiece. The quote is taken from 'Pass the mic' by the legendary Beastie Boys. As a reminder to MCA passing away at that time (2012). Mr. Leenknecht loves a positive and strong message... and music, as he's also a dj.<br><br>This can be found on the Saturnus building of this social housing project. Do check out the other buildings.
