During Artscape 2017-Värmland or Artscape 2017 White Moose Project as it is also called, ten municipalities participated, which resulted in a total of 25 works of art, seven of which are in Karlstad. Both international and Swedish artists are involved behind the paintings.
Artscape Karlstad
Artscape in Karlstad resulted in a color explosion where empty house walls are now filled with modern metropolitan art. Seven artists from different parts of the world have painted and expressed their art on seven different buildings around Karlstad.
Here you can take part in the murals:
Drottninggatan 15 in the center, the white house with the gable facing CGC, painted by the artist Sagie from Sweden. In Sagie’s expressive work, you can expect everything from cute animals and figures to stylish graphic motifs.
Styrbordsgatan 2 on Orrholmen, opposite the parking lot at Orrleken, painted by the artist Pantonio from Portugal. Pantonia’s artwork combines birds, fish and other creatures in floating forms.
Garvaregatan 9/Fabriksgatan 7 in Haga, with the gable facing Gubbholmen, painted by the artist Smug from Australia. Known for his photorealistic paintings, Smug is considered one of the absolute leading street artists in photorealism. The paintings are humorous mixed with precision.
Hemvägen 16 in Våxnäs, painted by the artist Henric Thåg from Sweden. Karlstad’s own Henric Thåg works with graphic motifs and often portrays people or other figures in everyday life with an extra twist.
Drottninggatan 41 B in the center, the red brick building by the bus station with the gable facing Drottninggatan, painted by the artist and Frankfurt-based Case Maclaim from Germany. Case is a pioneer in photorealism where art expresses itself in a universal language to inspire messages of conformity and power.
River C Hotel in Haga with the gable facing Karlstad CCC, painted by the artist Hyuro from Argentina. With political themes and subtle sensitivity in dreamlike compositions, Hyuro creates art in the form of illustrative and graphic paintings.
Fagottgatan 70 at Kronoparken, Studenternas hus in the center of Kronoparken, painted by the artist Ledania Colombia. Ledania is one of Bogota’s most prominent street artists and expresses himself through colorful motifs characterized by magical and mythological roots.
