20.-30.08.2020
In August 2020, an urban art event took place at the Bell area in Basel. The international street art greats Mr. Cenz (UK), Bane & Chromeo (CH), and Bust (CH) created three large murals on an area of approx. 800m2.
In addition, 30 artists painted the other walls around the site in Basel. Over a length of more than 200 meters, national and international greats from the graffiti and street art scene painted, including Fafa, Boogie, Pollo, Seifrei, Cole, Kesy, Kron, Tizer, Seyo, Sonic, and many more.
All in all, 1700 square meters of wall were painted. This is a Swiss record!
The artists on the main wall August 20 - 30
The street artist Julian Phethean aka Mr. CENZ is internationally known for his unique, expressive portraits of women. Flowing, cosmic-seeming shapes in bold colors characterize his portraits of strong, self-confident women who attain a mystical aura through their abstract representation. Mr. Cenz is supported in Basel by the English graffiti artist Tizer, who is internationally known for his unmistakable, expressive style.

With the two Swiss artists Fabian Florin aka BANE and David Kümin aka CHROMEO, two masters of photorealism enter into a creative dialogue in the next mural. Their works are characterized not only by their technical virtuosity but also by the fact that they always establish a creative connection to their surroundings.
BANE has not only transformed the mill tower in Chur into the city's new cultural landmark, but his work can also be found in various other locations across Europe, Asia, and North Africa. With his murals, always connected to nature, he creates new, dreamlike worlds full of magic.
CHROMEO inspires reflection with his works. With a wink, he takes up socio-culturally relevant themes and playfully implements them in his collaged concepts. The high-gloss look of his work is not illustrative but becomes the aesthetic carrier of messages with depth.
The colorful motifs of Swiss street artist BUST seem familiar and yet surprisingly new. He transfers manifold inspirations from comics, cartoons, and pop art into a new, personal context. The influence of classic graffiti is always palpable in Bust's work. His style is the result of an intensive examination of the most diverse contents and techniques of graffiti and street art. A hodgepodge of diverse influences combines in his works to form a highly individual, unmistakable universe.
