SERBIA: Streetart Belgrade – Stari Grad – Takovska Parking – Graffiti Yard

In Belgrade between the streets Takovska, Vojvode Dobrnjca and Bulevar Despota Stefana, there is a large backyard with a parking lot and a recreation area for residents. Basically, it is a large concreted space with a few benches. Not necessarily nice for relaxing, but ideal for colorful art on the wall. And there is plenty of it here, from characters to numerous graffiti. Especially the artist METOD, who is from around that neighborhood, has painted several fantastic concept scenarios.

FRANCE: Streetart Nice – Liberation – Tunnel de la Gare – Underpath Portrait Series „Regards“ – OTOM

From Rue de Villeneuve in the north of Nice, a single-lane road tunnel runs under the main train station to Avenue Durante in the south, the „Tunnel de la Gare“. Cars drive through it, but there is also a cycle lane and a walkway. For many years, pedestrians tended to avoid the tunnel because it was a dark and scary passageway, especially at night and it’s generally a bit weird around a central station anyway. But a little color and creativity could change that. The great local artist OTOM was commissioned by the City of Nice in spring of 2020 to create a mural throughout that tunnel and he developed a special concept for this named „Regards“.
