Amsterdam session

While passing through the capital of the Netherlands in summer 2024, Sébastien Bouchard roamed the canals and green streets to find a few good spots to paste his artworks. It is clear that while Amsterdam is quite well-endowed when it comes to large frescoes and murals, smaller and more ephemeral street art pieces (paste-ups, stencils, mosaics…) are rare. Is this due to the city’s determination to clean up artistic expressions in public spaces?
