In 2021, the Waste Department of the municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch called on the help of Kings of Colors to start transforming the boring metal containers in the city into beautiful and colorful works of art.
Jasper Briks (aka Brikkie Briks) was born and lives in Budel (NL). His passion for paint has been there for as long as he can remember. From the age of nine he took painting lessons, learning the basics of art and composition. One learns by doing, and while learning one does. So with the help of a lot of study, practice, experience and, above all, fun, he has developed himself into a muralist.
The artist: ‘For me, this design emphasises the link between waste and responsibility. Cleaning up is not only necessary, it can also be quite ‘badass’. Waste must be thrown in the bin and cleaning up is for everyone".
You can find all art containers together on a special website: https://containerkunst.nl/
