Master painter Barre Verkerke – winner of the 2022 National Painters’ Prize for his mural in Vlissingen – designed a classic book cover for the wall of De Koperen Tuin bookshop in 2023. This is particularly fitting, as the shop is named after a 1950 novel by the Dutch author Simon Vestdijk.
Street art lover/walker/photographer/researcher living in Rotterdam. My favourite place in the world is London and in particular the area around Brick Lane (Shoreditch).
My avatar is a picture taken at the corner of Braithwaite Street and Bethnal Green Road (Shoreditch, London) of a street art poster by Shepard Fairey and Damien Hirst: Third Eye Butterfly Mandala.
