Iron Horse

This work in grey tones adorns a side façade near Graslei. A gloomy looking figure rides a steam locomotive like an iron horse.

Painter Klaas Van der Linden (Zottegem, °1986) depicts people and objects in bright colours, with the contrast between light and dark being essential.

In addition to murals, he also creates paintings with a unique combination of acrylic and spray paint on canvas. He started with graffiti and street art at the age of 12, and studied free graphic arts at LUCA School of Arts in Ghent.
