A squid called Sebastian

Graffiti vzw and Piazza Dell'Arte collaborated on Augmented Graffiti Masterclasses in the run-up to the third edition of the 2019 Sorry, Not Sorry festival.

During the 2019 Sorry, Not Sorry festival, Graffiti vzw and Piazza dell'Arte matched local youngsters with an experienced street artist, in this case A squid called Sebastian.  Together they created a mural, from design to the actual execution.

Smartphone users were also catered to: youngsters gave the wall an extra dimension with augmented reality.

The style of A squid called Sebastian shows recognisable influences from the comic world and the work of figurative masters. He always seeks out a certain dynamism and tension in his work through his use of colours and composition.
