Reverse-graffiti street art, created by Belgian graphic designer Stefaan De Croock (Strook), made use of a moss-coated wall at the STUK Art Center in Leuven, Belgium.
Using only a pressure washer, Strook crafted an etched design of an industrial city and robot bird by carefully removing the moss and other grime that has accumulated on the wall, all without the use of toxic paints nor cleaners.
The motivation in Strook’s artwork is of ‘man meets machine’. Stefaan explains on his website that; “More and more, we are dictated by technology. That intrigues me. And so do the cities we live in. That’s why I populate my drawings with humanoids – robots with a human shape – and cyborgs – physical merges of man and machine.”
Strook also does rapid live performances when he creates his art, such as for Air Strook One, installed at Ostend Airport, Belgium, which measures 20m x 3.5m (65.6ft x 11.5ft) and portrays dangerous looking air planes.
