In the run-up towards the I Love Hip Hop festival, Eelco van den Berg painted a giant canvas on the facade of the Media Market in the Grote Marktstraat. It was exciting for a moment since Eelco had been delayed on his return from Canada, where he had just been working on several major projects. But despite his delay Eelco succeeded to paint the gigantic artwork within only 5 days! This huge, beautiful piece of art will stay up for several weeks and is made possible by: Shoppingnight The Hague, Mediamarkt The Hague, The Hague Street Art, I Love Hip Hop, Fonds promotie kleine evenementen en Peter Boelhouwer (DB activities).
Check out a short video of the project here.
