LE MUR Luxembourg | Ville de Luxembourg

Introduction

Inspired by the "MUR Oberkampf" in Paris, where more than 300 artists have left their mark over the years, and following on from the graffiti project at the ventilation tower at Place Guillaume II, "LE MUR LUXEMBOURG" features temporary works of graffiti and street art in a range of styles on its 30 m² urban canvas.

Rue du Fort Neipperg

The LE MUR Luxembourg urban art project was launched in March 2022, in collaboration with the non-profit organisation I love Graffiti and, since then, more than 13 spray can masters have left their mark on the gable wall at 23, rue du Fort Neipperg.

New location in Rue du St-Esprit

Due to the extension of the Rocade building, LE MUR was moved to a new location in Ville Haute, where it now occupies the façade of the Lëtzebuerg City Museum at 14, rue du St-Esprit. The new location of the "Modulable - Urbain – Réactif" (MUR) concept is expected to unlock new potential for the LE MUR Luxembourg urban art project, while providing it with a home in the heart of the city centre.

Artist currently featured: Deih

The "LE MUR Luxembourg" urban art adventure continues with a new piece by the international graffiti artist Deih, the latest in a series of artists who have been invited to adorn the facade of the Lëtzebuerg City Museum in Luxembourg City's Ville Haute. To mark the occasion, Eduardo will be on deck, bringing cool beats and inviting listeners to kick back and enjoy the festive vibe.

For his street work, including LE MUR Luxembourg, Deih has been developing "The Insider", a project that takes an introspective look into his own feelings and life. Deih explores his inner life by contemplating his relationships, both with others and with himself. He uses codes of representation from the world of science fiction as a means of achieving, or even constructing, a personal truth.

Valencia-born Deih's artistic career has taken on many dimensions. Having worked for commercial clients as a muralist, animator and illustrator, Deih has been on the graffiti scene since the 1990s and now focuses on independent projects. His visual universe, heavily influenced by comic-book art, falls somewhere between the Tank Girl series and the work of illustrator Jack Kirby. This universe is imbued with the pathos specific to graphic novels, giving rise not to conventional exercises in Pop Art but rather to imposing, illustrated narratives.

Worlds intertwine, fragment and merge, populated by fantasy girls and space cowboys, perhaps stranded in the Milky Way or in the menacing futuristic city of Freeside, from the video game Fallout.
