A Street Art Giant Appears on Stacked Shipping Containers

Streets artists paint wondrous large scale murals on stacked shipping containers, raising the bar for this year's new festival artwork. The North West Walls were featured this year at the Belgian annual music festival Rock Werchter, alongside the likes of Pharrell, The Prodigy, and Muse. Since the Summer of 2014, the collection of murals has been a ‘permanent’ installation at the festival, attracting different artists each year from all over the globe.

The installment is curated by Arne Quinze, a Belgian conceptual artist who recently built a series of rainbow stilt houses. Through these giant paint installations, artists use the arrangement of the containers to play with space and perspective. One of the contributors, wall artist Fintan Magee—notoriously dubbed the ‘Australian Banksy’—tells the Creators Project, “It was pretty challenging painting, I had never really done anything like it before but I was stoked to paint something that allowed me to step outside the traditional two-dimensional mural format.”
