Tag: Monday Mural
Flowers and missiles
I came across this mural in München, Germany (Munich). Intellectually, I understand the juxtaposition between war/war machinery and the beauty found in flowers and traditional ceramics and porcelain. But overall – I am not really convinced that it works for me.

These boots are made for walking
It’s an industrial mural – I checked it up and the company produces safety shoes and boots for the work environment. It looks nice though, much better than a uniform grey wall.

Hidden in the woods
This mural is on the side of a country inn, very difficult to see because the forest comes close and there are trees right in front. Even without the leaves as it is winter now, it is hidden in the shadows. The style is old fashioned and not typical for the area, which makes it interesting.
This is for Monday Murals.
Mathilde or Marianne?
This mural tells a story from the time of the German revolutionary upheavals 1848/49. It can be found in Kirchheimbolanden opposite the old town wall. Unfortunately, it has fallen into a state of decay and urgently needs reparation works.
This is the mural seen from above, standing on the town wall.
A detail with Mathilde Hitzfeld (a young woman who fought on the side of the revolutionaries for freedom and democracy), almost like a German Marianne (the symbolic figure of the French Revolution).
The state of disrepair can be seen with this singular figure, a few metres away from the mural, missing hand an all.

The blue bird of happiness
This mural, created by Holger Kurt Jäger, adorns the outside wall of a children’s daycare centre. Inside the grounds the artist worked with the children, painting walls and using stencils:
Another wall was decorated a few years earlier, unfortunately there are spaces for cars right in front.
Another mural on a Monday, seen in Düsseldorf, Germany, on the outside of a nursery. The artist is Holger Kurt Jäger.

The chicken have fled the coop
I found this on the side of a road, winding through a forest, adorning an old water reservoir. I like the chicken on top of the faded, ugly graffiti that was there first.

Play school
A schoolyard in Hesse, slightly faded. For Monday Murals.
Irony in Sunderland
Sunderland City Council commissioned the artist Irony via “Fitzrovia Noir” to create a mural in a shelter on Roker beach. This spot faces the beaches where Lewis Carroll was inspired, so it is said, and the piece carries the name “Alice in Sunderland”. The shelter is dark and made darker by the black background, thus the UV ‘light responsive’ stand out particularly well.

Parkers little helper
Seen in a multy-storey car park in Stratford-upon-Avon, in the UK.
