Plur & Loves
This work in the Achtervisserij district is the result of a cooperation between Maarten De Smet (Loves) and Joni Van Nieuwenhuyse (Plur). The very bright colours are meant to breathe new life into the hidden footpath and to create a contrast with the many bare, dilapidated rear walls. They constitute a reference to nature and its beauty and complex colour patterns.
Plur started out around 2010 with paint sessions and jams. He gets his energy from meeting new artists and engaging in collaborations, combined with is love of travelling. His ambition is to create many more murals in Belgium and abroad. To him, the most important thing is the shared process of creating of making the world a more beautiful place, wall by wall.
Loves in an artist from Dendermonde who has found his way to Ghent. He has an obsession with letters and abstract art. This shows in all his works. It’s not easy to find recognisable things in his art. He loves giving people the opportunity to interpret what they see in his murals.
