The Giant Anthill

“Wood Side Gallery” as part of the Krefeld change of perspective under the artistic direction of Fredda Wouters from Kevelaer in coperation with city marketing Krefeld.

The art in the old concrete tubes is really special and looks even better after years.

Unusual art in an unusual place. Under the title “Wood Art Gallery”, 20 artists from Germany, Italy, Mexico, USA, France, the Netherlands, Russia, Ukraine and Great Britain turned nature into a stage for their art objects. Many great street art motifs can be discovered, but also concrete pipes or slab paths become unique art installations on the area around the Krefeld Environment Center. The Wood Art Gallery was created in 2015, but can still be explored on your own today - as long as nature does not take back its “exhibition space”. But be careful: Weatherproof clothing is appropriate, it can get thorny and muddy in between.

Fabio Fedele from Rovigo in the north of Italy started painting the streets in 1993. He studied architecture and the history and preservation of architectural cultural assets.

 

He has won numerous prizes at international street painting festivals and has painted at street painting festivals in Italy, Croatia, France, Germany, Denmark, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the United Arab Emirates and the USA.

 

In Italy he was awarded the highest titles for his street painting: “Maestro Madonnaro” in Grazie di Curtatone and “Magister Madomnaris” in Nocera Superiore. Since 2006, 3D street painting has also been part of his repertoire.
