Tournai Général
One city. Two interventions. Three artists, and HIER, us.
Branding Tournai this time, branding both sides under a bridge, and one over another, both alongside the canal de l’Escault.
Murals telling the story of the city, of its architecture, folklore, and personas, under Pont A. Devallée. A story told by two different artists: Hedi Baka and Wenc part of the collective Les Îles Mardi.
A ground mural telling the story of the intersection between water, earth and stone, over the passerelle Notre Dame, by the artist Marine Bonamy.
These stories were told and painted with the help of an incredible set of hands @cocolaurens @olwesto_paobar @antoine_moustie @octaviolimaa @rammouk
Les clés de la ville - Pont A.Devallée
This mural is an invitation to discover the story of the city and its heritage through flags, pictograms, iconic characters. Its content is inspired by local craftsmanship, folklore, and the architecture of the city.
The artwork here is a collaboration between two who collaborate a lot: Wenc and Hedi Baka. A lover of architecture and captured instances, and the other passionate about energetic and vivacious characters.
La passerelle aux reflets - Passerelle Notre Dame
This floor mural echoes with the canal, with the passers by and with the boats crossing beneath it. It aims to create a social link, a place for exchange of words, of love, of looks towards the city. The painted shapes and their colors reference the worlds of water, of earth and of stone.
Marine Bonamy, is the artist of this work. Her universe is organic, mineral, and aquatic. Her work is based on texture, superposition, and movement.
Project powered by Colora Zaventem
Video and photos by Jules Cesure, the only one.
So happy and proud with this collaboration.
And if you drive by Tournai, take a Tournai by the canal and wander through a graphic novel of the city.
