North West Walls

North West Walls Permanent art at the Festivalpark. The North West Walls have been a striking feature of the Festivalpark in Werchter (Belgium) since 2014.

Rock Werchter has shown that art has its place at a music festival and that it works. North West Walls has lent the festival fabulous artistic allure. As art projects go, this is a highly ambitious one. North West Walls is a mark on the landscape that can be admired long after the festival period has ended. It is a permanent installation. But then again it is not. Because it looks different every

year. Under the curatorship of Arne Quinze, the North West Walls are brought to life by a new set of street artists every year. Arne Quinze has invited six massive talents for North West Walls 2017: Hoxxoh (USA), Phlegm (UK), Astro (FR), Telmo Miel (NL), Jarus (CAN) and Smates (BE).

Lobster Robin is a painter and street artist with a background in illustration and animation. This duality is relfected in his style, and particularly in his skillful use of linework and colour. Combining the more fine aspects of illustrative and painterly work with the roughness of graffiti and street art. His artwork is best described as colourful and psychedelic, exploring his journey through life from an unusual perspective.

Often painting a merge of figurative work and botanicals with nods to the millennial generation. She often delves into mythology, folklore and storytelling, sometimes working with communities to create relationships between people and paintings.

(France) is a self-taught visual artist, from the graffiti movement. His work revolves around the soap bubble, as well as its transparency, which he has been exploring for fifteen years. The fundamental idea in his works is the exploration of time, the ephemeral, melancholy. As for the form, he abandoned his first graffiti influences for a more poetic mix of vanitas and bubbles, flirting between abstract expressionism and surrealism.

Our Story

The North West Walls have been a striking feature of the Festivalpark in Werchter (Belgium) since 2014. Rock Werchter has shown that art has its place at a music festival and that it works. North West Walls has lent the festival fabulous artistic allure. As art projects go, this is a highly ambitious one. North West Walls is a mark on the landscape that can be admired long after the festival period has ended. It is a permanent installation. But then again it is not. Because it looks different every year.
