Wall With A View #01 features a wall in a private residence where a new mural is created each year. With this initiative, we aim to highlight our expertise in advising and guiding private clients in the acquisition of a mural. The first mural in the series will be created by Luuk Bode.

About ‘Stroke 406’ by Luuk Bode (part of the ‘stroke’ series).

This mural by Luuk Bode emerges from an ongoing formal experiment in which the brushstroke serves as a personal signature. By linking each work to postal codes and house numbers, the mural emphasizes its connection to place. This specific piece responds not only to the interior architecture but also to the panoramic view of the Maas, seen as a silver ribbon stretching toward the horizon. Its color palette—featuring tones like turquoise—is carefully attuned to surrounding elements such as kitchen glaze, exposed concrete, and white surfaces, creating a harmonious dialogue between space, material, and view.

Luuk Bode

Over the years, Luuk has developed a strong sense of colour and form, in work that has become increasingly abstract. His earlier figurative work drew on influences from pop and street culture, and elements of this can still be found in his current explosions of form and colour.

The contemporary urban landscape is still an endless source of inspiration for Luuk. He observes and interprets all kinds of forms and materials he encounters there: the way skylines are formed, the receding perspectives as you walk through the streets, reflections in the water or mirrored facades, road markings. But details such as half-decorated stickers, litter or graffiti also capture the imagination.

It is not only the urban and contemporary that feeds him. The great painters of the 20th century also play a clear role in his work. There was a huge need, especially in the 1960s, to redefine our everyday lives and reinvent visual language. Luuk does exactly that, but in his own way, in his own time.
