Skugio

<div>Local artist MataOne created a street art project where he colleagues from the world to color a couple of walls every year. The Italian Lorenzo Skugio Nicoletti made himself a name with international fame: “Skugio is a master of realistic portraits and landscapes. He has more than 25 years of experience and is inspired by his environment and the context in which he creates a work. He was working in Spain, Italy, Greece, Ireland and Hawaii.”: says MataOne<br>The wall is located right next to the "Herinneringsbos" (translated as Forrest of Memory), givng the artist instant inspiration:<br>&nbsp;“Skugio made a very beautiful work that refers to the old and dead trees, but also to new life in the form of a sage plant that is applied by a child. A wonderful closing after the works that were made earlier this year. We are already looking forward to next year for new projects. Now everyone is welcome to come and admire the work and also (re)discover the environment.”<br>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Lokale kunstenaar MataOne creëerde een street art project waarbij hij collega's van over de hele wereld uitnodigt. De Italiaan Lorenzo Skugio Nicoletti maakte naam internationaal: “Skugio is een meester in realistische portretten en landschappen. Hij heeft meer dan 25 jaar ervaring en laat zich inspireren door zijn omgeving en de context waarin hij een werk maakt. Hij werkte in Spanje, Italië, Griekenland, Ierland en Hawaï.”: zegt MataOne<br>De muur bevindt zich direct naast het "Herinneringsbos", waardoor de kunstenaar direct inspiratie opdeed:<br>&nbsp; “Skugio heeft een heel mooi werk gemaakt dat verwijst naar de oude en dode bomen, maar ook naar nieuw leven in de vorm van een salieplant die door een kind wordt aangebracht. Een prachtige afsluiter na de werken die eerder dit jaar zijn gemaakt. We kijken nu al uit naar volgend jaar voor nieuwe projecten. Nu is iedereen welkom om het werk te komen bewonderen en ook de omgeving te (her)ontdekken.”</div>

Bond Truluv

<div>This legend in the urban art scene worked for the first time in Belgium.<br><br>As early as 2002, Bond TruLuv became interested in graffiti art and began experimenting with different techniques while studying anthropology. In 2010 he studied painting at the University of Arts in Yogjakarta, Indonesia, and has since worked as a freelance artist, traveling the world to create his three-dimensional designs that are impressive in lighting and depth.<br><br>A multimedia artist<br>Bond TruLuv's works in public space harmonize with their surroundings. The color of the environment determines the nuance of the work and the atmosphere of the environment is reflected in the stylistic idiom. The artist illuminates his murals with light sources, films and photographs them, and transforms his graffiti art into a multimedia installation. He also applies his refined technique to his works on canvas, which show futuristic figures and fantasy worlds with incredible depth and clarity. A recurring figure of his works made with spray and acrylic paint is a robot model of a 3D software that questions our identity formation in the digital age.<br>An internationally recognized artist<br>Bond TruLuv has made a name for itself with more than 30 international exhibitions. His works can be seen throughout Germany, including Munich, Leipzig or Hamburg, but also internationally in the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, India, Indonesia or Japan.</div>

Thinking inside the box

Djoels

<div>Djoels known for her huge photo realistic portraits asked a local artist if he got a good spot for her idea. Well the city of Ronse gave her an amazing location to paint this portrait of Manou Kersting, a Belgian actor who is known for his roles in many TV shows. Who doesn't remember his quotes from the awarded series "De Matroeska's" ("is da allemol nog nodig"), but recently he also rediscovered his painting skills and now also works as a painter. The reactions to Stefaan Degand's, a previous work by Djoels, were so positive that she wanted to do it again. “Manou is a good friend of mine who I have tattooed a few times in the meantime. It is he who brought me into contact with Stefaan Degand at the time. And I think Manou also has a fantastic beautiful head. I already told him that myself. Although perhaps not everyone will understand that. It is not "pretty" in the style of the perfect beauty ideal, but it is a head of character. And I like that. I searched and found a very successful portrait photo of Manou, by photographer Johannes Vande Voorde, and with his blessing I set to work" shares Djoels</div>

Lobster Robin

<div>"I took this opportunity to paint one of my skulled persons. I do this, not to promote death or to be dark, but very much the opposite. Skulls to me represent the equality between all humans. A skull tells us you are human and nothing more. It doesn't show gender, skin colour, nationality or any ideologies or beliefs. Under this layer of material that devides us we are all the same and we are all part of this bigger thing called life. Secondly it can represent the short time we have here. If we had a better grasp of how easy a life can end, we might appreciate it more. So aspire to get in touch with who am underneath the layer of stories tell myself, to feel connection to what unites us all." shares Robin on his IG page</div>
