Chester's Wall

Description

Memorial for  American singer, songwriter, musician, actor and lead singer of the band Linkin Park, who has committed suicide on July 20, 2017.

David Landgraf, also known as PALAS, spontaneously created a portrait at the Hall of Fame on Zollstraße following the suicide of Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington in 2017. It quickly became a central gathering place for grieving fans from all over Germany. The artwork remained respected and untouched for a long time, but was later vandalized.

As a result, a 30-square-meter mural was created inside a specially renovated, historic round pavilion in the heart of Kaiser-Wilhelm-Park. It not only serves as a musical memorial but is also an important hub for raising awareness about depression.

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.
