The artwork on Wisthoffweg in Essen is part of the “Wände Südost” project. It was created by BIRNE, a well-known graffiti and urban artist from Essen (in collaboration with ANGUS), as part of a 2012 project that transformed gray noise barriers along the A40 into an open-air gallery.
In 2013 I started with a new hobby. In the beginning it was difficult to get reliable information how to find streetart in public space. In 2016, I had the idea of sharing my information with other street art enthusiasts and started my blog “Streetartwalks”. When I found out about this new street art community at the beginning of 2018, I was immediately on board.
