Instead of presenting beautiful pictures he wants to give his audience food for thought. His work has a certain surrealistic touch.

SMOK

Neuseplein , 9000 Gent Smok

Three local service centres, De Horizon, De Boei and De Thuishaven, are housed in an apartment block. As a result, their offices are little visible and people often pass by without noticing them. Older local residents sometimes do not even know that they can go there for services and activities.
Instead of working with classic façade banners with photographs, the Elderly Care Department of the City of Ghent opted for murals. The three centres have large blind side walls that are ideal for this purpose.
