Flowering buds — Anaïs Lera
On the corner of Sasstraat and Kerkstraat in Gentbrugge, on the façade of café BijTjeu, a vibrant new mural by French street artist Anaïs Lera now catches the eye. Inspired by the botanical legacy of Louis van Houtte and the history of the neighbourhood, Anaïs brought to life a work that feels almost otherworldly.
Just as Van Houtte once brought exotic plants to Gentbrugge, Anaïs now brings colour, form, and wonder to the streets. Using brush, roller, spray can and paint, she spent nine days creating the piece—helped by a rare stretch of sunny weather that allowed her to finish the wall in one continuous flow.
The mural was made possible with the support of Wijkbudget Gent and was created in collaboration with engaged local residents.

Artist
Anaïs Lera is a French visual artist based in Vancouver, Canada. Raised in the South of France, her artistic perspective was shaped early on by a fascination with biology and the natural world. Her work blends illustration and design, creating vibrant, detailed ecosystems that explore the boundary between science and fiction.

Planned For Demolition
In een voormalige supermarkt te Gent ontstaat een tijdelijke tentoonstelling, vlak voor het gebouw verdwijnt. Kunstenaars vullen de lege muren en open ruimten met werk dat specifiek voor dit korte moment wordt gemaakt, volledig bewust van zijn vergankelijkheid. De structuur, het achtergelaten materiaal en de rauwe sfeer van het pand vormen mee het decor en de inspiratiebron.
Abstract Session — How it all began
Abstract Sessions originated from a simple but bold question: what happens when you dedicate an entire wall to abstract art? Together with a diverse group of artists from across Europe, we brought colour, energy and experimentation together in a unique creative process.
