Yesterday afternoon I attended a very interesting guided tour on local street art. I got aware of this offer a few days ago and decided to go. The tour was led by an artist with detailed know-how on the certain kinds of art, as well as the artists, people like Pixelpancho, Mayo Brothers, Findag or Harald Naegeli, the sprayer from Zurich.
Street art is much more than simply polluting walls with ugly colors. Indeed, graffiti is a certain part of street art, but there is much more. Some pieces are very big and are to oversee, other small and hidden. Some are made of spray colors, other similar to wallpapers, others of plastic foils and some woolen knitted art. So, interesting.
I attached a (quite big) gallery. Although I reduced the selection, it is still big. My aim was, to show different kinds of art as well as different artists and a few details from the facade paintings.
I knew some of the facade paintings before, and I know, there are some more. It’s kind of hard to find them again, after passing by without taking a photo. So, I took the opportunity to see some more and I wasn’t disappointed. I hope, to find some more on my own soon.
As usual, you can click on the photos to enlarge them and browse through easily.
Great fun! I have posted it on LinkedIn and forwarded this post to an artist friend back in California.
Thanks, Léa!
My pleasure!

There is some master piece in your town, I remember the lego, the socks on the stakes, the portraits, the house and the 1€ ones on the entire wall of the building and of course the Jana&Js one that is made by a couple the guy is french and the girl is austrian. Thank you for sharing and good luck for your next findings.
Have a nice week end
Thanks, Sophie.
I don’t live in Düsseldorf. It’s about 50 km from my home. But, you’re right, there are really some masterpieces!
