Gijs Vanhee

<div>The mural Parked Life is a story telling a piece of the life of his "free birds", as Hayes calls his types...a story about a traveller, a dreamer; a story on wheels, integrating elements of local life and culture or the point of view of a stranger in a foreign country - the viewer chooses. The richness of detail and different elements in VanHee's style allow for a wide interpretation and as he says himself - "working in an urban environment is always perceived in a changing context that may be different a year from now. The freedom is in letting the work take on a life of its own."&nbsp;<br>Producer: VISIONARY / https://visionary.foundation&nbsp;</div>
