Kitsune
Five new works of art can be admired in the Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat. The city authorities are running a project to make the street look more residential. Besides the murals, actions such as more greenery on the façades and light projections with messages on the road surface have already been realized or are being considered.
Kitsune Jolene (Jolien De Waele) is a street artist from Ghent. She made her debut in 2017, and her work can now be seen not only in Belgium but also in Portugal and Dubai. She paints mostly women, animals and plants combined with references to other cultures and myths.
Kitsune is the Japanese word for “fox”, but it can also be translated as “fox spirit”. Kitsune is an important figure in Japanese mythology that possesses supernatural powers and can assume a human form. It is mischievous, playful, neither good nor bad, but usually wants to do what is right.
