Every year, the graffiti wall on Bahnmeisterweg on the Sulzer site in Winterthur is put out to tender again. Graffiti artists can submit their references, which are judged on the basis of uniqueness in the style of Julien Kolly, founder of graffiti art galleries in Zurich and Geneva. The winner will then freely design the artwork with a positive message and receive a winner’s fee. The next call for entries will start in spring 2024 and will then be implemented in the summer. The work will remain in place for one year.
The visual language of his winning work on the Winterthur graffiti wall is characterized by traditional elements, with the form of a colourful collage reminiscent of board games. Combined with a humorous wink, the graffiti conveys a sense of home – for all generations.
