COMES AND GOES, FOR WALLIN_9000 PROJECT.


Last August I had the opportunity to visit Ghent, in Belgium, to make two murals for Wallin_9000 project. The first of them was this.
The mural was made in Nieuw Gent, a district on the outskirts of Ghent.

Pino is a stork that returns to the neighborhood every October to settle for the next few months until the migration season returns. The residents of Nieuw Gent have adopted Pino as their mascot and made him their symbol. Here, families from many countries, religions and races coexist, making this place a meeting and mixing place, a second home for many of them.

I also visited the Atelier Desmyter printing studio of the master Eryk Desmyter, with whom I carried out this collaboration in his 19th century printing presses. It is a limited series of 30 copies, signed and numbered, made by engraving on wood on cream colored Smili Japon paper with 2 deckled edges. Paper sixe 64 x 48 cm.
