LSK – Goes – Line

From March 25 to 27, 2016, the newly built “Bischofsplatz” S-Bahn stop in Dresden’s Hecht – district was officially painted by almost 30 Dresdeners. During the Easter weekend, a concrete-grey train stop was transformed into a colorful imagery with graffiti styles, fantasy figures and poetry connecting with the surrounding area.

The mural painting was initiated and organized by Dresden artist Jens Besser in cooperation with Verkehrsverbund Oberelbe and S-Bahn Dresden. 

Both local writers and local street artists took part in the painting session.

These included Artourette, Andy K, Benuz, Anett Bauer aka MUAH, Jens Besser, Cre – Ei8ht, Sichtbetong-Crew and writers from the graffiti crews BGS, Eis, FAQ, IBG, Lauchs, LEO, OJF, OSF, SAR, SOX, VDE and WELT .
