Snowy R.U.A. Happy 2010 – Part 1

anouk — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 17:26:04 +0000

Although R.U.A. festival has passed for the Brazilian writers who were in Rotterdam this summer, for Rotterdam it is far from over!

The art remains standing strong, in all types of weather and last week it has been snowing like crazy in Holland.

Our one and only, hardcore photographer Evert Eijkelenboom regularly makes his trip around town, to shoot some new images…

These ones we couldn’t keep for ourselves!!

We would like to use this opportunity to wish you all a fantastic and artistic 2010!

Enjoy!

After a long delay and a lot of requests, I give you Dalata’s wall!!!

Ramon…are you serious…?! Did you finish your wall???

In the Kromme Elleboog we got surprised again and again with the bright colours of Ramons painting explosions! It has been a while now, but when he almost finsihed his wall, it was amazing to see how he’d add more and more little details…We’ve been waiting too long to show you…Check it out…Ramon surfing his own waves!

Canhoto?

Colour....more and more colour...!

Yes…yes!! We are still alive…after a few computer crashes later…some lost images and some survival acts…a few weeks and many events later, we couldn’t let you wait any longer…what happened to all the walls in Rotterdam?

First of all we would like to show you a few different perspectives of Onio’s last wall…

Seen from below...

Look how high...

Gais’ wall at the NAi had great attention during De Wereld van de Witte de With. The light was beautiful and it was amazing to have it as a decoration for the festival. The good news afterwards was that the NAi wants to keep the painting one more month again!! Let’s see how it will work next month!

Gais at night...

Dalata’s sweat and tears!

If you think that the artists painting these walls, are all as fast as Onio, Onesto and Yusk, you’re wrong. Some of them really work hard to get all the details and effects perfectly in shape…Dalata is one of them. He is sweating and suffering in his struggle to end his work on his wall in the Boomgaardhof. It isn’t easy now the weather is changing and wind and rain are bothering every now and then. The result though, is one we can enjoy for long…People are very entusiastic about the art and sit for hours to observe the mysteries Dalata hid in the painting…

Until so far...

And we reached the news again…!

yeah!!

Nice article...!

Ramon quebrando tuuuudooooo!!

No words can express the extraordinary colour explosion and velocity in which Ramon Martins is paintig his wall. If you’d go on a ride with Ramon in his cherry picker, you’d feel as if you’re participating in a video game. He’s managing his machine playing with the buttons flying up and down like crazy…Ramon is definately not the one who takes weeks before he dares to go to the top! (Yusk…!?) Whoever is afraid of hights should not go with him. The luxury though – to be able to observe his work from close – is worth everything!

Horoiwa still rockin’ in the Dutch!!

Although he has left this monday, Horoiwa keeps on going as if he is still around. The rainy weather is playing with the colours, which makes the wall everyday a little different. And national newspapers still write about him! We will not easily forget him…!

Life is about the little details

The fact that Dalata’s wall is huge doesn’t stop him from doing the tiny details that he loves so much. According to him the faces that he paints keep appearing and there is nothing that he can do about it, just give them life. So if you walking near by his wall maybe it’s a good idea to get a closer look at the painting, there’s a lot to be found!
