Street artist Leon Keer connects head and heart in a 3D street artwork in The Netherlands

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Leon Keer, the world-renowned 3D and anamorphic street artist, has created a unique work of art at #raum, an urban culture lab in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Reveiled last Saturday, the colourful 150 m2 artwork named 'Sensibility and Sensitivity', shows a linked up brain and heart. This connection between both is relevant and needed now more than ever.

Street art with a message

Keer's subjects often include current affairs, such as climate change and quality of life. When asked about the meaning behind this new work, artist Leon Keer says: "I mainly wanted to create something that exudes positivity. In these difficult times, we need to balance the impulses of the head and the heart." Because of the current international health crisis that is affecting the entire world, Keer hopes the importance of this message is recognised by all who see it.

At home in Utrecht

Keer has been asked to create works of art in Europe, the United States, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Russia, New Zealand, Australia and several Asian countries. This is his first artwork in Utrecht, the city where he lives. "It's really special to be able to create a work of art in my own city. I can show it to my family and friends. It's much more difficult to do that when you're working on the other side of the world." Visit Keer's website to learn more about his #streetart around the globe.

Enjoying art during the COVID-19 outbreak

During the COVID-19 outbreak, visitors are required to keep a distance of least 1.5 metres from one another and follow all Netherlands Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) guidelines. This #streetart is of a semi-permanent nature and will be visible for the coming months at #raum in Utrecht. An aftermovie of the project will soon be available on the #raum website as well.
