About the Artist
Harmen de Hoop makes anonymous and illegal interventions in public space since 1985. He uses his work to accentuate the loose ends, the incongruities and the failures which make up a city. With his interventions he tries to make the passers-by aware of the restricted and pre-coded space they are living in. He uses irony to comment on human behaviour and conflicts of interests in an urban environment.

We’ve launched a new way to support public art.
These works weren’t commissioned. They appeared because artists care—about their city, their neighbors, and the everyday spaces we share. Now it’s up to the public to respond. If a work speaks to you, support it. Help keep powerful art in public space, where it belongs.
Your donation goes directly to the artist.
