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 no fewer than 13 spray can masters have left their mark on the gable wall of 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

JABA

For the 26^th iteration of LE MUR Luxembourg, the City of Luxembourg invited the artist JABA – whose real name is Didier Mathieu – to transform the façade of the Lëtzebuerg City Museum with an original artwork.

Originally from Colombia and living in Belgium since his teenage years, Didier JABA Mathieu has established himself as one of the leading figures in Belgian street art. Trained at the Saint-Luc Institute in Liège, he has developed a distinctive visual style inspired by comic books, manga, science fiction and futuristic worlds, combining vibrant colours, dynamic forms and imagined landscapes.

Alongside his street art career, he also worked as a concept artist in the film industry at a Lucasfilm Ltd subsidiary in Singapore, contributing to major international productions. This experience has shaped his artistic approach, enhancing both the visual and narrative dimensions of his work.

Found in both public spaces and galleries, his works reflect a richly imaginative world and a level of technical mastery that has earned him international recognition.
