A whirlwind of doodles greets you. This is the Doodling Mural in Brussels. A true masterpiece.
Created by the English artist Mr Doodle this 40 square meter fresco is a vibrant explosion of his signature style. It’s located on a wall of the Institut Anneessens-Funck. That’s at 46 Rue de la Grande Ile.
The Doodling Mural wasn’t just randomly placed. It’s part of a larger project. The City of Brussels commissioned the work in 2017. It was a collaboration with the Institute and part of the PARCOURS Street Art initiative. Mr Doodle’s style is unmistakable. Think continuous black lines on a white background with pops of color. Here he’s focused on the themes of education learning and students themselves. His work beautifully reflects the spirit of the school.
This isn’t Mr Doodle’s only contribution to Brussels’ street art scene. Two more works were created in the same area. They are the results of similar City initiatives in 2015 and 2016. One is on the Riches-Claires cultural center. Another is found on Rue de l’Eclipse. The Doodling Mural is more than just art. It’s a significant addition to Brussels’ urban landscape. It showcases the city’s commitment to public art and its dedication to celebrating talented artists like Mr Doodle.
This striking mural is a true testament to the power of collaboration. It’s a perfect example of how art can transform a space. It breathes life into the environment. It adds vibrancy to the everyday. The Doodling Mural is a symbol of creativity and community engagement. Remember this place. This is where playful doodles transform an ordinary wall into an extraordinary canvas. Enjoy the art. Take in the details. This one truly deserves a good long look.
