By French artist Alexis "Bust" STEPHENS aka @bust_the_drip at Friedrichstraße 154A, Friedrichstadt, Düsseldorf, Germany in March 2023 for the Düsseldorf Bilk project. Photos taken July 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
"Following the Düsseldorf Bilk project ... Entitled "Fleur du béton" (Flower of Concrete), it pays homage to the key figures in the current urban dance scene.
It's somewhat reminiscent of Degas, who frequented the Opéra Garnier in Paris to capture the poses and movements of the dancers. Here, I work in the street, seeking out those whose movements elevate it. Could the street itself be a stage for creation? models @ukay_7 @frankydeee." - translated from @bust_the_drip March 30, 2023

“The Bridge" by Chilean-German artist (based in London) Otto Schade aka OSCH @otto_schade at Toulouser Allee, Pempelfort, Düsseldorf, Germany in 2019 for 40grad urbanart Festival @40gradurbanart. Photos taken July 2025.

"Do you believe that the knowledge you gained during your architectural studies and your previous roles aids you in the creation of your works?

Yes. I have been drawing since I was 4 years old. But when you study Architecture your mind is getting opened easily and the possible thoughts, increase.
The fact that Architecture manages the 3D space, gives the option to represent spaces in your artwork."

"THE MAN WHO OWNS THE STONE" by Spanish artist Jofre Oliveras @jofre.oliveras at Frederick Street Centre, Frederick Street, Aberdeen, Scotland in June 2022 as part of @nuartaberdeen festival. Photos taken April 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
"Today, nationalism obscures the vision. Borders are increasingly reinforced, preventing cultural exchange and abolishing the perception of everything that does not fall within the region. Isolation worsens and it is more difficult to realize the critical situation that we are facing globally, be it due to the depletion of resources, the migration crisis, or climate change.

It is curious that today we still try to defend the ownership of territory as it belonged to a specific identity. Identifying with nationality is defending the interests of the people who oppress us." @jofre.oliveras June 9, 2022

Hold Fast Hope by British artist duo Laura Perrett and Nik Ellis aka SNIK @snikarts at 15 Ship Row, Aberdeen, Scotland in April 2018 as part of @nuartaberdeen festival. Photos taken April 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
"Titled ‘hold fast hope’ the piece is reminder that the small things in life can have a big effect on you 🙏🏻" @snikarts April 15, 2018

"We drilled loads of details on this one, from colouring all the birds, to the snapped rope at the bottom of her leg, to the little bird sat on the ledge to the left. A super tricky piece to do with stencils, and the Scottish weather, but a result we are happy with." @snikarts April 23, 2018

"They create large scale stencil pieces, often depicting females caught in a moment of extreme movement. The piece in Aberdeen is called 'Hold Fast Hope' and features a girl being dragged into the air by small birds using a piece of rope. To hold fast is to keep strong or to hold on during stormy times. A sailing term, its a nice reference to the harbour location of their mural. Although they use stencils to lay out their pieces they also free hand and add into each piece which gives their work its unique look." aberdeeninspired.com/murals/snik-2018

Unearth by Portuguese artist Alexandre Farto aka Vhils @vhils at 18 Palmerston Road, Aberdeen, Scotland in April 2019 as part of @nuartaberdeen festival. Photos taken April 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
"Vhil's mural was inspired by the story of Aberdonians who fought in the Spanish fascist regime in the 1930's. Vhil was fascinated by this story and delved deep in the history of these 19 men, 5 of which sadly died. The mural depicts two soldiers, American brigadier Peter Fyre on the right and John Londragan of Aberdeen. The story of these brave men and their bond with the Spanish is remarkable. This mural is helping to bring this story to life on the streets of Aberdeen to a new generation. Creating the mural required a lot of physical labour, craving by drilling into the wall to produce lots of detail." https://www.aberdeeninspired.com/murals/vhils-2019
