Fazant
Klaas Lageweg created this giant fazant on the side wall of a building on Polderstraat.
The mural was created on the initiative of the artist Klaas Lageweg, who lives on Polderstraat. He found a lovely spot for a mural near the basketball court. After a brief survey of the neighbourhood, he chose to depict a polder bird – the fazant – in close-up. The use of large square pixels combined with a realistic image is characteristic of Lageweg’s work. The artist calls this combination of realism and pixels ‘realpixelism’, a reference to the current digital age.
