A few months ago I wrote a blog post about the mural by the Eat Company being painted over, after 5 years of sitting stuck in the “fall” theme. At the time it seemed like the end of an era.
A work colleague sent a tip last week that a new mural had unexpectedly appeared recently:
Although I do need to take a closer look during the day – it looks more like a giant (weatherproof) sticker than a painted mural. The texture is really nice, though.
(The stork shows up in a lot of imagery around The Hague; it is part of the official coat of arms – see also English Wikipedia.)
Hi there,
We are SOGOshow, we made this mural. Glad you like it. We glad our paint skills made you believe it actually is a sticker, we do promise every bit of it was painted by us. Sophia den Breems, who made the older murals is a part of SOGO. We are an artist duo and have been working together full-time now for about 4,5 years. You can check out more of our work on FB or Insta under @sogoshow
Have a great day
Kind regards
SOGOshow
Oh awesome! I walked past it again a few days ago and wondered again if it was actually painted. I was glad to see it looked just as good as the day it was created. Thanks for the beautiful work!
