Margot Olde Loohuis

<div>The municipality of Voorst was looking for a creative way to make the cycle tunnel near Twello blend into its surroundings. They were looking for a design with colour, space for nature, and a connection to the history of this place. Because this municipality is special. Voorst is the green oasis between three (medium-sized) cities. This spot once formed the natural border between all these areas. After all, the river IJssel flowed here for centuries. It is now no more than a ditch, but this 'Oude IJssel' is still the official border between the Gelderland and Overijssel provinces, which inspired Deventer artist Margot Olde Loohuis to create the mural 'underwater world'. With this mural, Margot takes you underwater in the old IJssel River. Cycle under the water's surface, see the waterlilies and enjoy this innovative perspective, the alienation and wonder it creates. An ode to the place, the history and the water that brought so much to this area.<br><br>Margot Olde Loohuis - http://www.margotoldeloohuis.nl/<br>Graduated in 1997 from the CHK Constantijn Huygens in Kampen. (Now ArtEZ Zwolle). Since 1998 she lives and works in Deventer. As a child I loved to draw and paint. In essence, little has changed. Painting gives me a sense of adventure, I enter another world, another feeling and I want to convey that through my paintings. The process and the end result are part of that, but the discovery is the most important element. Since 2007 she mainly paint water in all its aspects. She like the character that is always mobile, reflects, is transparent and refracts the light. And when viewed from below the surface of the water, even more emerged. In recent years, this innovative perspective, showing an often invisible underwater world, the alienation and wonder it engenders, has become an almost philosophical source of inspiration.<br><br>To know more about Street Art Streets and this project, visit streetartstreets.nl</div>

The love for cars runs deep in many of the neighbourhood residents. One of the local residents was even a true speed demon and a fearless car driver. He lived in Kampen and loved speed. A picture of him in a car still hangs in the living room in a prominent place, of course. When Max Verstappen presses his accelerator, Formula 1 fans sit here together in front of the television. Artist Zenk One used all these ingredients for his graphic design on this wall. The colour palette is based on the mural's surroundings.

<div>This colorful mural in the Raambuurt was made by Sander Op Den Dries of Studio Wonder in honor of the Senzora Expo!<br><br>Sander from Deventer was inspired by the Senzora factory where, among other things, the Candy Hearts and Tiger peppermint were made, but detergents, soda and many other products were also developed in the Senzora factories in recent years. Hence the curious figure and the bottle being filled. Also cool how the square windows in the wall have been incorporated into the design.<br><br>Curious about what's behind the wall, and want to know more about the history, present and future of this site?

In the Middle Ages, five annual markets took place in the city, sometimes lasting up to two weeks. Merchants from home and abroad offered their wares and the famous stockfish and Deventer Spiced Cake were traded in large numbers.&nbsp; Well, usually traded... this mischievous boy cannot hold back and, despite his mother's stern gaze, takes a few big bites of that delicious spiced cake.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>As the Bergkwartier (Berg Quarter) and Bergkerk (Berg Church) shine in the background, a red and yellow football scarf suddenly catches the eye; a subtle nod to the present.

Eelco van den Berg

<div>Industrial heritage, creative enterprises, art and culture, and the raw edge of former dock labour. This building on Scheepvaartstraat has everything that makes Deventer unique. Rotterdam illustrator and street artist I AM EELCO brought it all together beautifully in this mural, commissioned by Street Art Streets and Creative Event location PUNT, which are located in the building.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp;The mural is an ode to the characteristic Havenkwartier (Harbour Quarter), a place that in recent years has developed into a creative, mix-used hotbed, where hospitality, business and housing are combined with an active inner harbour. This specific Bodenloods[LB1]&nbsp; dates from 1958 and functioned as a warehouse where general cargo and packages were processed and transported to Amsterdam by inland waterway.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>&nbsp;In his mural, Eelco brings together both the history and the contemporary function of the location, also leaving room for interpretation. The bird could allude to the creative breeding ground that this area has become. The boy by the tree might represent a former dock worker or someone who is now relaxing in the Havenkwartier. The woman next to the curious fox could be a skipper’s wife anxiously awaiting her husband's return. The cup of coffee, the cosy cat and the dots are easier to interpret: a reference to the quirky event location now located in the building.&nbsp; <br><br>Making of video: <a href="https://youtu.be/cOd5LgJqjFI">https://youtu.be/cOd5LgJqjFI</a><br><br>Project: #MuralPUNT</div><div>Artist: I AM EELCO</div><div>Location: PUNT, Scheepvaartstraat 7</div><div>Date: November 2019</div><div>Made possible by: Street Art Streets, Event location PUNT, Egbert.EGD, Mano Scherpbier &nbsp;</div><div><br></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.

Johan Moorman

<div>Entrepreneurship, growth, crisis, war and casualties: this area has been through everything over the past few centuries. What began with the oil and hulling mills of Noury and van der Lande in 1838 grew into an area full of energy, innovation and renewal now known as S/park. Artist Johan Moorman has brought this eventful history together in his colourful mural.</div><div><br></div><div>Johan Moorman finds inspiration in retro-futuristic images, architecture, music and technological innovation. With his distinctive illustrative style, he leads the viewer from the Noury and van der Lande windmills and the historic building known as the “The Three Herrings” to the chemistry of AkzoNobel (now Nouryon) and further through the open doors of the innovation incubator S/park: a place for start-ups, students and researchers.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>&nbsp;The mural is a colourful illustration of the chemistry happening at the Zutphenseweg.&nbsp; It’s a chemistry between people, where different groups are connected, and innovative minds work together on chemical and technological innovations that prepare us for the future. The mural lets us see that exciting and interesting things are happening at S/park, while, at the same time, the safety of people and the environment always comes first. The mural was made possible by a gift in connection with the 50th anniversary of the Wesselings-Van Breemen Foundation. <br><br><strong>Making of video: </strong><a href="https://youtu.be/noy7_stUP9Q">https://youtu.be/noy7_stUP9Q</a><br><br><strong>Project:</strong> #MuralSWVB / Johan Moorman Street</div><div><strong>Artist:</strong> Johan Moorman</div><div><strong>Location:</strong> Zutphenseweg 8, Deventer</div><div><strong>Date:</strong> April 2019</div><div><strong>Made possible by:</strong> Wesselings- van Breemen Foundation, Street Art Streets, S/park, Nouryon</div><div><br><br></div>

It’s no wonder that the neighbourhood wanted to dedicate at least one wall to Sluiswijk's youngest residents. That's what artist Hedof did. In this mural, you see two main characters playing in a playground, a boy and a girl. The boy is sliding down a slide, which in his imagination is the trunk of an elephant. The girl is playing on a seesaw. With the children's imagination, a seesaw becomes a rabbit, playing with a football. The baker's hat on the boy's head is a reference to the Sluis mascot on the old biscuit tins of the former biscuit factory, which caused a sensation here. He is also holding a biscuit and an old-fashioned rolling pin. In the background, you can see a factory.

Better World “How to grow wall flowers”

<div><br>This is a neighborhood project at the Pothoofd in Deventer. The residents themselves had to prevent the waste dump from entering the container. A mural was conceived as 1 of the solutions. After a joint brainstorm with Egbert.EGD they came up with this design. The eye gives people the feeling that they are being watched, and the yellow / black / white lines must reflect the viewing angle and the fence so as not to put things around the container. Residents themselves helped where possible, with making the mural.</div>

Artist Joost Zwanenburg was inspired by this special neighbourhood resident and created a mural based on a photo of a homemade flower bouquet.&nbsp; But that’s not all; he also creatively brought the flower enthusiast and her daughters back into the mural. Her daughters appear as two woodland birds brightening up the neighbourhood, just as her daughters love to do with sidewalk chalk. Speaking of little birds, do you see what the one on the left is snacking on?<br><br>Find all the cookies in all the murals in Sluiswijk!<br>More info about "Muren &amp; Buren" (Walls &amp; Neighbours): www.streetartstreets.nl<br><br>Making of video of all murals: https://youtu.be/F_s7u9_qph4</div>

Danny Rumbl

<div>How can one illustrate the constant tension between nature and recreation on the banks of the Ijssel River? Rotterdam artist Danny Rumbl did just that with his #Spoorbrugtrap, located on the sides of the stairs leading to the nature reserve area known as the Ossenwaard.</div><div><br></div><div>Danny Rumbl illustrated the unique natural value of the Ossenwaard by including two special bird species that breed in this area. On the side facing Deventer, there’s an illustrated corncrake (above) and spotted crake (below). The colourful flowers and plants are inspired by the flora which grows around the staircase and ensure that the mural fits in seamlessly with the beautiful nature reserve.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>But even more than an ode to local ecology, the artist depicts the sometimes abrasive connection between humans and nature. On the other side of the staircase facing De Worp, a hare (inspired by the logo of IJssellandschap) shoots through the legs of a young person in pink shorts walking through the area. Hopefully, the mural will prompt visitors to think about their own connection and impact as<a >[LB1]</a>&nbsp; they enter and exit the nature reserve.<br><br></div><div>&nbsp;This mural was commissioned by the municipality of Deventer as part of the 'Nature Park Deventer Ijssel River Banks' project and organised by Street Art Streets. <br><br><strong>Making of video:</strong> <a href="https://youtu.be/h2MZtfWmYUo">https://youtu.be/h2MZtfWmYUo</a><br><br></div><div><strong>Project:</strong> #SpoorBrugTrap (Railroad Bridge Stairs)</div><div><strong>Artist:</strong> Danny Rumbl</div><div><strong>Location: </strong>Zwarte Pad</div><div><strong>Date:</strong> May 2019</div><div><strong>Made possible by:</strong> the Municipality of Deventer, Street Art Streets, Bestwerk</div><div><br><br><br></div><div><br></div>

<div>This halftone portrait by Egbert.EGD is an ode to a pioneer, a man who fought against the tide for an industrial area in the Havenkwartier (harbour quarter).&nbsp; He became a catalyst for the Deventer economy and the namesake of this street: Mr. H.F. de Boer.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>De Boer was an alderman at a time when Deventer was a fairly poor city. Every penny counted and not everyone saw the need for creating an industrial area. It was H.F. de Boer, in particular, who fought for the realisation of the port facilities. His idea was that the government should invest in the necessary infrastructure, and entrepreneurs should build for their own use. It turned out to be a move that would greatly improve the city’s industriousness.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>The spirit of De Boer still lives on in the harbour area. Since 2012, it has once again been given a new lease of life, now boasting a hip and gritty area for creative entrepreneurs and residents. Once again, the government has invested in the infrastructure, and entrepreneurs and residents&nbsp; have (re)built for their own use.&nbsp;<br><br></div><div>Thanks to Egbert.EGD the former alderman looks onto the area with satisfaction. The viewer, however, may have to look twice. Up close, the mural seems to be a play of lines because of the half tone effect. But if you take a photo or a step back, the pieces will fall into place.<br><br>Making of video:<a href="https://youtu.be/d0jKmPrFvMM"> https://youtu.be/d0jKmPrFvMM</a> <br><br><strong>Project:</strong> #MrHFdeBoer.EGD</div><div><strong>Artist</strong>: Egbert.EGD</div><div><strong>Location:</strong> Mr. H.F.

Joren Joshua

<div>The 1250th anniversary of Deventer in 2018 was an excellent opportunity to be inspired by our city’s past, present and future, which is exactly what Rotterdam illustrator and street artist Joren Joshua achieved with this mural.<br><br><br></div><div>The artist tells the story of this unique location in the Sluiskwartier, a former millworks that in the 19th century sat at the corner of the former city moat and the inner harbour, which has since been filled in. This location, where the lock was located, formed an important gateway. Next door the Raambuurt emerged as one of Deventer's first industrial areas.<br><br></div><div><br></div><div>Joren Joshua hopes you will see what you want to in his work. For one person, it might be an homage to our past as a port city with two docker workers busy carrying freight. The other may see the imprint of industry and workers in an old steamship and a red cogwheel. And the observant viewer will recognize the colours that perfectly suit Deventer and its birthday -the red and white of Deventer's coat of arms and, of course,&nbsp; red and yellow, the colours of our jewel, the football club - Go Ahead Eagles. <br><br><strong>Making of video:</strong> <a href="https://youtu.be/AuPsE1o1rm0">https://youtu.be/AuPsE1o1rm0</a><br><br><strong>Project:</strong> #SAS1250 / Deventer 1250 Street</div><div><strong>Artist:</strong> Joren Joshua</div><div><strong>Location:</strong> side facade Sluisstraat 4 , Deventer</div><div><strong>Date:</strong> April 2019</div><div><strong>Made possible by:</strong> Deventer 1250, Municipality of Deventer, Street Art Streets, Loxam, Verfgrossier, Egbert.EGD&nbsp;<br><br></div>

These are the macaws of one of the local residents. They are a household name in the neighbourhood, make quite a bit of noise and are the resident's great love. He has no fewer than four of them. Two inside, two outside. He finds a mural of his parrots a wonderful alternative to all the previous artworks in the neighbourhood because, in his words, those had far too many lines and planes. "People in the neighbourhood know that the macaw belongs to me. A macaw on the wall would be nice." And that’s how it happened. Thanks to Nina Valkhoff's creative mural, which depicts the story botanically on the wall. By the way, do you see the "whole grain" reference in the painting?<br><br>Making of video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xyghcx_Y8rU">https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xyghcx_Y8rU</a><br><br><strong><em>About the Walls and Neighbours project</em></strong></div><div><em>Local residents of Sluiswijk knocked on Rentree housing association's door in 2020.

<div>Deventer artist Will-Yoow (Wiljo Damstra-Rouwenhorst) designed a new freedom memorial in honour of an unforgettable Liberation Day that centred around 75 years of freedom in the Netherlands, but also reminded us of the fragility of freedom due to the oppressive Covid 19 pandemic.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Will-Yoow created two doves that, together, untie the symbolic ribbon that held Deventer in its grip and open the way to freedom. The colours red, white, blue and orange symbolise patriotism, which fits seamlessly with the celebration of the liberation 75 years ago. The red heart symbolises the love for the city of Deventer but also the heart for life and for the care that was so important for our society in 2020, the year of corona. In the blue part of the mural, a few corona particles are also visible.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>This modern memorial was organised by Street Art Streets in honour of 75 years of freedom and was presented on May 5, 2020 by Deputy Mayor and Alderman for Culture, Carlo Verhaar.</div><div><br>Making of video: <a href="https://youtu.be/CRc30n4EtDw">https://youtu.be/CRc30n4EtDw</a><br><br>Project: #75YearsFreeMural / Freedom Memorial</div><div>Artist: Will-Yoow</div><div>Location: Emmastraat 1, Deventer</div><div>Date: May 5, 2020</div><div>Parties involved: Overijssel Viert Vrijheid <em>(Province of Overijssel Celebrates Freedom), </em>municipality of Deventer, Street Art Streets</div><div>&nbsp;</div>
