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: RESO

The father of "wildstyle", Reso uses bold colours to convey his obsession with letters, which he constantly re-explores by adapting and applying new graphic techniques, going as far as conceiving abstract creations where movement – energetic and free – prevails and the curve becomes the key element in his creations. His intuitive work exhibits energy, movement and the circular nature of things, manifesting the progression and trajectory of a life enriched by human and artistic experiences.

Born in 1975, Reso now enjoys international success and, as a leading figure in the urban arts, is called upon in Europe, Latin America and the Middle East to create – often imposing – art works, alternating between lettering, characters and realistic scenes, but also to organise numerous graffiti events. During his artist residency in 2020 at the Montresso Foundation's "Jardin Rouge" in Morocco, a veritable artist's laboratory, Reso adopted new techniques and integrated textiles into his creations, while retaining his universe of signs, shapes, colours and gestures, all of which are intrinsic to his compositions. He has returned to this artist's oasis five times since.
