Adéle Renault, a famous street art artist has colored the facade with a life-size pigeon. \"Pigeons are a metaphor for people,\" she explains. \"Just because they are so urbanized.\" Adèle Renault has painted a carrier pigeon. Her work has been commissioned by Hip Hub Hooray, a regional hip hop festival with street art, break dance and other expressions of hip hop culture - and in collaboration with MoMent. The latter is a culture festival that runs this summer for the third year in a row in Tongeren. \"The painting is the first of a series that we want to introduce to public places in the region,\" says Daniëlle Gielen of Hip Hub Hooray. \"We want to realize a network of murals and thus connect the cities in the region.\"The owners of café Rembrandt, were immediately able to freshen up the facade of their shop with a work of art. “The pigeon is not only painted in great detail, it is also a good example of an illusion. If you look good at the wall painting, you can even let the pigeon eat from your hand.\"","thumbnail_url":"https://streetart.media/1/10cfce49-ff19-429d-9ee6-61e792a17082/1024.jpg","thumbnail_width":1024,"width":480,"height":480,"html":"","cache_age":3600}
