Dutch artist Henk Hofstra (who’s Blue Road we featured in April of last year) is back with a new environmental art project called ‘Art Eggcident’ in Leeuwarden, a city in the north of the Netherlands.

Yesterday, several large eggs (each 100 feet wide) were spread on th Zaailand, one of the largest city squares in the Netherlands.

‘The eggs’ will remain in Leeuwarden for the next six months. 

Ran into Nick Walker the other day here in Manhattan. Good to see that he’s bringing a bit of life back to the streets of New York (which as of late have been pretty dormant of new work.)

amazing how someone could actually design this!

Weight Coming Off your shoulders

My design started off as a blank canvas. I could have designed anything at all but I am  very passionate about the idea of “freedom” and the amazing feeling it can bring to a human.  

Throughout anyone’s life they would have awareness of the feeling of being trapped but then they are able to experience the release to freedom. 

 This image is a symbol to remind viewers the experience of being release and the amazing feeling it gave to them.  The feeling of ‘weight coming off your shoulders’ is a remarkable sense that I have tried to incorporate within my design. 

I wanted to design something that creates interest but also communicates the idea of  “Freedom”.    

The design was devised by a number of processes.  I manually created a painting using Spray paints, stencils and acrylic paint.  

I focused on the idea of incorporating images of what I personally believe symbolised freedom and what can help to create freedom within the world.  

I went on to photograph my canvas design using special camera techniques to create and interesting interaction to the eye.

I have created a design which is attractive and fits into the New York environment (actual building).   

When I view the end design I am able to experience the message of freedom and life after suffering. This was my main objective I wanted to show to viewers for them to feel the same message/experience.

I have been selling my art work since 2006 in Central Otago.  since then i have developed my style alot.  at the moment i have been creating my artwork by making stencils and sprayed with Spraypaint.

heres some of my work, let me know what ya think!
