BRUSSELS, BELGIUM STREET ART: BANKSY MANNEKEN FRITES!

Such a cool idea ~ an unknown street artist merged iconic cultural symbols to make a cool piece of art. They used the image of Banksy’s rebel throwing flowers, Brussels’ number one representative image of its city – Manneken Pis – and frites, one of the main dishes Brussels is known for. Brilliant. In addition, I brought some friends along – NYC’s Primate by artist Joseph Meloy, The Tribal Mask by Bogota-based Aussie artist CRiSP, and WOPS! Festival promos for The Walk on The Pink Side Festival happening in Toulouse, France in October (16-18,) hosted by my favorite artist, French phenom FAFI.

In the East Village the other day, I came upon my favorite buddy in the streets: Joseph Meloy’s ‘Primate!’ The first two you’ll see are definitely some of the earlier renderings of it before he evolved into the handsome ape he is today:
