Encounter — Ase Torralba
The dream team, Antonio & Paloma, joined the first Abstract Sessions in Anderlecht last year. Just days later, we invited them to our city and they transformed a quiet, hidden green corner in Ghent into a living canvas.
As curious neighbors passed by, we met Dieter and Sofie, whose home looks out over the park. They had been dreaming of a mural for some time — waiting for the right moment. That moment arrived unexpectedly.
A spontaneous conversation turned into a plan, and suddenly street art entered their backyard. Antonio began shaping the wall with his signature contemporary style, drawing inspiration from stained-glass windows and Art Deco geometry. Architectural lines became flowing forms. Urban abstraction met residential space. The result: a bold mural that echoes the character of the house while bringing fresh energy to the neighborhood.
This is what we love about street art and murals they grow from real encounters, transform overlooked spaces, and connect people through creativity.
Huge thanks to Dieter & Sofie for the trust, care, and warm hosting.

WATERWEG — Kunst langs de Gentse waterlijn
Water vormt al eeuwenlang de ruggengraat van Gent. De Leie en de Schelde tekenen niet alleen de grenzen van de stad, maar verbinden ook buurten, functies en ritmes. Met het project WATERWEG, gerealiseerd binnen het wijkbudget van de Binnenstad, werd die waterlijn tijdelijk ingezet als drager voor hedendaagse kunst.
Het uitgangspunt was eenvoudig: onderzoeken hoe kunst een betekenisvolle rol kan spelen langs de Gentse waterwegen, zonder de plek te domineren. Niet één centrale locatie, maar een reeks kleine ingrepen, verspreid langs de oevers. In de praktijk kwam de focus te liggen op het traject tussen het Patershol en De Krook.
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.
