Banana in a park

In the serie of realist pieces of "street" art, this banana placed in Zuiderpark.... Colorful!

Puzzling street scupture

I am very puzzled by this teapot hanging in the Noordpolderkade in the Laakkwartier, I cannot find it very attractive to look at, and don't think I would like to see it from my windows... I managed to find on the internet that this piece was called "ECHTELIJKE RUZIE" (Marital fight), which I reckon is pretty creative. It is designed by Jo Klingers. It represents a coffepot and a broken chair.

Art in the streets of Scheveningen

On 31 October 1995, a foundation supported by the local council was created in Scheveningen called Straatkunst op Scheveningen withe the aim of stopping and preventing any sort of pollution of our local environment (graffiti, paint, etc...). This special panel was inaugurated in 1997 and you can find in the Neptunustraat. They have used a lot of mosaic work to complete this work, as shown on the picture below.

Realism in the city 2/2

I find those street murals so nice I thought I shared them all with you! I only spotted four houses in total in this small neighborhood displaying the murals from Hermanus Berserik (see yesterday's post). Click on the photo to display it large.

Realism in the city

Everybody in The Hague knows the wall paintings situated on the back of a couple of houses next to The Hague HS train station. They have been painted by Hermanus Berserik (1921-2002), a local artist, member of the Royal academy of Arts, who lived in this neighborhood as a child. His paintings were very realistic; still lifes with nostalgic subjects, selfportraits, landscapes.

Colorful scaffolding

Isn't it a good idea to bring colors to boring scaffolding? It looks like the panels were specially set up for some street mural. This is located along the harbour in Scheveningen , which is why you can see on the mural the pier, and fishes.
