Belgian Street Art can be pretty confusing. Firstly, the country speaks two different languages and thus Flemish and French speakers tend to be bilingual and this multilingualism shows up in the Belgian street art too. The city of Gent in Belgium is known for its graffiti more than anything else.
If you take a look at all these graffiti found in that city; you would realize the charming and throbbing art scene that exists underground. Most of the Graffiti are surreal in nature and none of them have any direct meaning whatsoever. They seem to question the idea of different layers of reality present within the Belgian society.

Whoever said street art is not legal, and that they deface the city? Slovenian Art collective Zek crew have created an awesome street art ensemble that baffles the viewer into believing street art is the way to go. The art was installed or done in order to promote the Trnfest 2009. The logo of the fest was cut of a large white material and that was applied over the many billboard ads that are found in cities.
The negative space of cut outs reveal colourful layers of decaying art which suggests the many layers that are found in a city and its society. The art is not about adding something but “cutting out” something from the existing just like the way real life is supposed to be.

Each of the drawers is made from a logically sustainable and eco friendly wood and many different species of wood go into the single bureau.
