Resto & Sam Scarpulla
This wall proved to be a magnet for unwanted graffiti. To prevent this, the City of Ghent went to street art talents Resto and Sam Scarpulla with the request to brighten up the wall.
In Ghent, the application of graffiti, posters and stickers, in any form whatsoever, is not allowed without the owner's permission and is therefore punishable. This prohibition applies to both public and private property, and the City of Ghent will remove all unwanted graffiti, posters and stickers for free.
Infringers will be tracked down and sanctioned and will have to reimburse the City of Ghent for all removal costs.
Sam Scarpulla is fresh and funky. In recent years, he has mainly created graphic black and white works using figures and symbols to tell a story.
Resto portrays giants and crazy living machines in lively colours. They have become notorious as a result of their huge size and epic nature.
