The Urban River

The Urban River

Look at the pretty amazing Urban River! Henk Hofstra created an “urban river” in Drachten, Holland. The Blue Road installation is an example of what mind-blowing urban public art can be. It is located in Drachten, The Netherlands, it features a kilometre of  road painted blue and the phrase “Water is Life” written in eight-metre-high letters across it.  It’s reminiscent of the waterway that used to be where the road is now.

Besides that, Dutch artist Henk Hofstra also created a 20 car pileup in the middle of Rotterdam’s Ahoy Square, to symbolize the worldwide credit crisis. Nineteen of these cars are painted red – for in-the-red ledge-red debt , with the sole blue car symbolizing the few that are still ding okay.
