On the left, local hero Bustart created a colorful picture in his typical mix of pop art and cartoon elements. The middle picture by English artist Mr. Cenz shows an expressive portrait of a woman with flowing, cosmic-looking forms. On the right-hand side, Swiss street artists Chromeo and Bane have created a photorealistic, colorful 3D image showing a spray can surrounded by flowers. In addition to the large mural, the walls on the corner of Neudorfstrasse and Schlachthofstrasse have been redesigned by over 20 national and international graffiti artists.
Change of Colors
22.06.2021
With the largest graffito in Switzerland, Basel is now one attraction richer. And Bell has played a not insignificant role in this. The wall design under the motto "Change of Colors" is located on the façade of the Frigo cold store.
From 20 to 30 August 2020, a grey concrete wall covering around 1800 m2 at Bell's headquarters in Basel was transformed into a colorful work of art. The main attraction of the largest wall design in Switzerland is a large, three-part mural on the façade of the Frigo cold store on Neudorfstrasse, which was created by the internationally renowned street artists Mr. Cenz, Bustart, Chromeo and Bane.
