Certain ones are more detailed than others. Connoisseurs have managed to distinguish different stroke styles in the drawings.
There is thought to be several artists responsible. Graffiti is a bit of a sketchy subject, since the authorities are always keeping an eye on these sorts of things. The hot question: who is this graffiti artist? Unfortunately nobody knows or wants to know the response. And like magic, when the sun rises, your street is marked with an original drawing. The artist sneaks during the night to spray these little colorful sticks. Nor can we guess the form that the next pencil will take. We never know where the art will show up next. Then they were drawn undressing themselves and even riding a camel…” Who is behind this aerosol art? The artist added legs to them, made them into lady bugs, made them into Indiana Jones. Then they gradually started to be drawn around the corners of walls. In the beginning, they were simple and sharp. Yves Calomme, specialist in this phenomenon, explains what he has observed over time: “The evolution of the pencil has gone through many stages. Since the end of summer 2010, pencils have been showing up in waves in Brussels. The numbers are always changing as the paintings disappear and reappear and as the city evolves. Once we became conscious of the fact, we too started noticing this pencil theme everywhere in Brussels: on walls, store blinds, electrical boxes, telephone stalls… all the way to the outskirts of the highway! According to records, there are close to 400 pieces of pieces graffiti art in the city. Right away we were bombarded with graffiti… of pencils! You might be thinking, “Hmm, I know I’ve seen something like that somewhere… but I can’t put my finger on where…”
When BrusselsLife meets crayonsīrusselsLife took their own advice and put away their cell phones to appreciate the city landscape. You will find that Brussels is an open air museum where street art has found a home. If only you lifted your head once in a while! You can risk tripping on the rickety sidewalks of the capital and look up and enjoy the scenery bit. Hey you, over there! Yeah, that’s right, you with your head in your phone.
