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 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.

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.
