Hogeweg — Kitsune
Hogeweg — Kitsune
A new mural in Ghent adds even more beauty to Sint-Amandsberg. The metre-high mural, created by artist Kitsune Jolene, shows two herons surrounded by bees and is located on the Hogeweg in Sint-Amandsberg.
Kitsune was given free rein to create the mural, with the only requirement being that it contained birds and had to be colourful. She is certainly no stranger to the Ghent street art scene, she has painted many other murals in the city.

Artist
Kitsune Jolene (Jolien De Waele, 1992*) is an upcoming street artist, based in Ghent, Belgium. After her studies in Visual Art & Architecture and an extended period as voluntary assistant to a few artists in the world of street art, she decided to pick up the spray can at the end of 2017. Today you can find her reaching from Belgium all the way to Portugal and Dubai. Usually painting portraits of women, animals, fauna and flora infused with subtle nods to various cultures and myths. On the side she participates in working with a handful of street art minded organizations in the Benelux.

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.
Waarom kunst in de publieke ruimte?
Kunst in de publieke ruimte is een must. Het toont wie we zijn of willen zijn als stad, gemeente of dorp. Kunst kan verbinden, verbazen, maar ook tot discussie leiden. Het stemt tot nadenken en gesprek. En is dat niet het doel?
Street art: the street belongs to everyone
Street art has long ceased to be merely "anti" or a paragon of anarchy. Today, thanks in part to this art form, the idea that public space belongs to everyone is alive.
