Jesse Robot

This work is the result of Drawing Days, a festival which took place in 2017 and transformed Ghent into a paradise for graphic artists.
Various muralists could display their art and craft by embellishing the streets, façades and windows with their creations. Each artist had their own spot where they could give free rein to their creative imagination.

On the façade of café Jan Van Gent, graphic artist Jesse Robot made drawings which constitute a diptych within the window frames.

Jesse Robot combines a penchant for B-movie monsters, Batman and robots with elements from Ghent architecture and history. These façade drawings were also created within the scope of urban festival Klinkeroever.
