Portuguese artist Nuno Viegas lived in Rotterdam for a couple of years and this was his first mural in the Netherlands.
Technicalities aside, the mural painted on Leiden Central Station is yet another classic example of the artists ability to merge high-end graffiti, fine art and public art into one idea. The image capturing some essential graffiti must-have; painting glove, a hand and a well trained trigger finger. The image which “gives the fingers” to all onlookers, actually does so in a positive way. The classic peace symbol or modern day Asian photo pose hand position, welcomes questions for all those whom spend the time to look at this simple yet dynamic image. And for those not willing to invest the time to contemplate, it looks great anyway! Keep warm and check it out here.
