<div>The rooster from the chosen work by Melchior d'Hondecoeter can be seen from afar. Your curiosity is immediately aroused, because what else is there to see behind the houses? What can it mean?<br><br>Collin van der Sluijs and Super A chose the painting Chickens and ducks from the Mauritshuis museum as the starting point for the mural. They were given complete artistic freedom to translate their inspiration into a mural. The work may surprise, move, raise questions, but also generate discussions.<br><br>We see a porcelain rooster and pheasant. The porcelain lies in shards on the floor. A real rooster has broken loose from the porcelain and is dashing away. The pheasant also makes its way out of the porcelain. This is a symbol of regaining freedom. Breaking out, breaking rules, being able to be who you are and do whatever you want. The porcelain (also a product from the seventeenth century) symbolizes the controlled and directed society of the time, the strict rules of life and expectations. The artists build a field of tension between two worlds: then and now, fake and real, being locked up and freedom.<br><br>more info:<br>https://www.mauritshuis.nl/nu-te-doen/mauritshuis-murals/super-a-en-collin-van-der-sluijs/</div>

<div>If you are lucky you can see the real chickens (and a lot of roosters) that inspired the artists to make this work. They are living in freedom in this neighbourhood.</div>

L7 Matrix

<div>&nbsp;Luis Seven Martins is a Brazilian artist who tried many techniques and finally created his unique approach by using china ink, latex, pastel and acrylic.&nbsp; It is not just the technique that L7matrix experimented with. He also came to a unique style through his experimentation – namely, he combines geometrical elements and very stylized color puzzles with realism attained by elaborated details (text from http://l7mstreetart.com/about/).</div>

<div>An hommage to the stork, symbol of The Hague.</div>

for The Hague Street Art

<div>The Hague started 2017 with the sad news that street musician Chuck Deely had passed away. The Hague Locals were fond of his ever musical presence in one of his favorite spots in the city centre. A mural close to one of these s spots would be a perfect way to pay tribute to this iconic musician.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Three THSA artists were invited to make a design capturing Chuck.&nbsp; Together with the Municipality's 'Meldpunt Graffiti' an online voting was set up where The Hague residents could vote. The illustrative and colorful design by Sophia den Breems was voted favorite; winning more than 2000 of the 3500 votes. &nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>The artist could only work between 1:30 and 5:30 at night when the trams weren’t in use because they had to turn of the dangerous power on the overhead line.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>She wanted to show Chuck "as beautiful and colorful as possible", just like his music. We will miss Chuck but we are happy with this fantastic mural by Sophia which will keep him with us for a long time.&nbsp;</div>

Hugo Mulder

<div>This interesting collaboration between two contrastive artists, who both started doing graffiti in the eighties, resulted in a vibrant mural that speaks to your imagination. <br><br><a href="http://mrcenz.com/">Mr Cenz</a>' distinctive work can currently be seen all over the streets of the world, especially in his hometown of London. His new work focuses on female faces, which he distorts in his trademark style full of funk and movement. He works from portrait and fashion photographs to create unique interpretations, which are abstracted in a spontaneous and freestyle way to create interesting and mysterious compositions. <br><br> <a href="http://www.hugomulder.com/streetart/">Hugo Mulder</a> aka DHM is a painter, artist and graphic designer from Amsterdam. He started doing graffiti in ’84 - graphic design in ’90 - and back to the streets with stickers, past-ups and mural painting in 2001. His distinctive street art work is a series of mostly&nbsp; animals and women all drawn in his known tribal/tattoo style applied with stencil and spraypaint.&nbsp;</div>

<div><strong>Karski</strong> (1974) and <strong>Beyond</strong> (1983) are known as an artist duo from the Netherlands. They have a background in graphic design and the academy of fine arts and were heavily involved in graffiti. <strong>Karski</strong> picked up the spray can when he was only 10 years old. <strong>Beyond</strong>, being from another generation, started painting in 1997. (text: karskiandbeyon.com)<br><br>This work was made for a housing association. Karski and Beyond spoke with the neighbourhood what kind of picture they wanted. People wanted something colourful and so the 4 murals on the Laakweg are very colourful. This one shows a big stork (symbol of The Hague) and a baby and crown because The Hague is the city where the Dutch king works and lives most of the time. They also want to show that every child can become a king.</div>
