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.

Project initiated by I Love Graffiti ASBL, with the support of the City of Luxembourg.

The "LE MUR Luxembourg" urban art adventure continues with a new piece by the international graffiti artist POPAY, 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. POPAY's performance will mark LE MUR's 20th iteration and, to mark the occasion, Kopla Bounce will be on deck, bringing smooth tunes that invite listeners to relax and enjoy the festive vibe of this evening.

POPAY is a Franco-Hispanic visual artist. He was born under the name Juan Pablo de Ayguavives in Barcelona in 1971 and is currently based in Paris. Initially based in Paris, he has been living in Felletin, in the Creuse departement, for several years now. He began expressing himself in public spaces from a very early age, painting his first walls at the tender age of 12. He is now considered a major figure in the European graffiti scene, where he has established himself with a colourful, flourishingly expressive style that blends both abstract and figurative elements. POPAY's work reflects a masterful command of colour and dynamic forms, which he combines to create a distinctive graphic universe characterised by dreamlike architectural elements, deconstructed figures, and the interplay of light and shadows. His work blurs the boundaries between street art and contemporary art, drawing as it does on elements of both popular culture and major art movements.

POPAY has exhibited in a number of institutions and galleries throughout the world, including the Fondation Cartier and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the MACRO in Rome, and the Musée d'art contemporain de Lyon, to name but a few. He is also a regular guest at international street art festivals, and frequently produces giant murals in cities such as Paris, Barcelona, and Surabaya in Indonesia. His work is featured in many private and public collections, reflecting his influence, and the recognition he has gained, on the international art scene.
