Cee Pil
Commissioned by Wallin', Cee Pil painted a life-size mural on the urban elementary school De Panda in New Ghent.
The mural is an eye-catcher for the entire neighborhood and fits into the broader story of the revitalization of New Ghent.
Wallin' has given workshops at schools in the neighbourhood, including De Panda, to bring children and youngsters in touch with graffiti in an accessible way. By doing so they want to counteract the negative perception around graffiti and stimulate pupils creatively.
Cee Pil often lets 2 animals flow into each other in his work. In New Ghent he chose to combine the panda, the school's mascot, with a dog.
His work is about the contrast nature-culture, a disconcerting look at nature and how man and nature live together. Instead of presenting beautiful sculptures, he wants to make the viewer think. His work has a certain surrealistic touch. He wants to show a calm, harmonious image, with a wry undertone.
