Gazing up at this massive artwork, one can’t help but wonder about the story behind the Brussels Corvus Corone Mural. This striking mural, gracing a wall near the Van Praet Bridge, is a relatively recent addition to Brussels’ vibrant street art scene. The Brussels Corvus Corone Mural, created by the Brussels-based artist Sozyone, depicts a giant black crow. It’s a dramatic welcome to the Schaerbeek area, even though the wall technically belongs to Brussels City. This 140 square meter piece was commissioned by CityDev, who acquired the building. They saw an opportunity to revitalize the area with a splash of color and artistic expression. Benjamin Cadranel of CityDev believed urban art could effectively breathe new life into a neighborhood. The Brussels Corvus Corone Mural certainly achieves that. It transforms a previously banal entrance into a dynamic gateway. The mural’s creation involved a collaboration between CityDev and the non-profit organization, Une Ville en Couleur. This organization previously worked on another prominent Brussels mural, “Mother” by Sainer. Their aim aligns perfectly with the PARCOURS Street Art project: making art accessible to everyone by creating an “open-air gallery” throughout the city. The Brussels Corvus Corone Mural, visible from the Van Praet Bridge, offers a perfect vantage point for admirers. Its bold presence adds a touch of color to the urban landscape. It stands as a testament to the power of art to transform and revitalize a neighborhood.
