In the south of Amsterdam, squatters have moved into an empty building on Honthorststraat. It belongs to the Russian government and had been unused for a long time. The four-story corner building once housed a Russian tourist office. 😎🏖️

The squatters call themselves international artists who can’t afford housing. In a letter to neighbors, they explain they are from countries like Russia and Ukraine. They believe it’s wrong for such a large building to stay empty. 🇷🇺 🇺🇦 ☮️

The building is known for its location and history. The action has drawn attention from passersby. Tourists can spot it by the posters and signs in the windows, and by the beautiful artworks.🪟🪟🪟

“Iconic Mary rocking on the guitar while stepping into a ray of sun” (a bit long for a real title 😅).

The sharp lines and strong contrast suggest stencils were used for quick application. The bold and readable style seems typical for art meant to stand out in public spaces. 🎸

The image blends religious elements 👑😇✝️ with rock culture. 🤘🎸😎That contrast gives it a rebellious tone. It likely questions who we see as icons or saints. Street art like this often makes bold cultural or social statements. 😎

Another “KBTR” at NDSM. “KBTR” is a graffiti-gnome from the city of Utrecht, based on a traditional garden gnome. The name comes from ‘KaBouTeR’ (Dutch for gnome). KBTR is the artist’s graffiti tag, not a general term for gnomes. These gnomes are known for their red hat, white beard, and ever-changing appearance.” 🎅🏽

This work ‘breathes’ the style of the old master Rembrandt, not in the last place because of the use of the same techniques in light and dark. ⚪️⚫️🎨

It’s an eye-catching appearance painted on a small generator house at NDSM-Plein. 🔋⚡️ …might be there, might be gone already due to the temporary state of the art. 🖼️

The responsible artist is Donovan Spaanstra, who also has three of his works hanging as a part of the permanent collection of the “Amsterdam Museum”. 🏛️

On the right side the old master himself hints on visiting the museum more often. 👍
