Alu Xtra — Toon Van Ishoven

In the studio of Alu Xtra, which specialises in aluminium windows and doors, artist Toon Van Ishoven created a calming and visually playful mural. The wooden structure inside the building received a subtle artwork combining natural elements and shades of green with black and white accents, fully in line with the restyling of the space.

The mural not only brings colour and calm, but also contains a subtle nod to the company's business: a trompe-l'oeil effect with an open door or window that gives the work depth and meaning. In this way, art blends seamlessly with architecture and everyday work.

About the
Artist

Toon Van Ishoven (BE)

Toon Van Ishoven is an Antwerp, Belgium-based visual artist/designer. He creates murals, paintings, graphic and audiovisual designs. He creates both original, free art and commissioned works. He likes to alternate between solo work and collaborations with theater directors, writers, choreographers, fellow artists, etc. Each wall influences the content he chooses for it. He often integrates the specific shape or architectural features of a building, a column or an interior space into his design. His painting technique consists of about 2/3 brushwork and 1/3 spray and/or airbrush. It allows him to give the piece a substantial level of realism and a 3-dimensional feel.
