Denis Meyers at the old Solvay building in Brussels

"Denis Meyers takes over the former home of the Solvay company in Brussels by transforming the abandoned complex through painted words, thoughts and memories. Remember Souvenir transcribes Meyers’ work over the years to the empty walls and windows, creating an intimate look into the life of the artist. It is a true testament to Belgium’s ever-growing presence on the street art scene."  theculturetrip.com

Tunnel, trees, trunk









A true jewel and somewhat of a hidden treasure, not very far from downtown Brussels.
The pedestrian tunnel connects the Solvay Park (named after Ernest Solvay   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Er#3CD9C3) to the magnificent Forêt de Soignies with its century old trees.
The castle is hidden behind huge beech trees.
A sign near the cut trees reads “zone de protection”, “beschermde zone”, a reference to careful nature preservation policy.
