On the little door of the house, there is artwork by street artist Alias, representing children. Alias’ paintings of children sometimes lack a face or an expression which amplifies the feeling of a group in society that’s not seen or heard. Without seeing an expression or a look we can still imagine a feeling with the help of body language that echoes universally.
Alias’s stencil paintings are often socially critical, and he raises both social and political questions, but also personal ones and what makes us examine ourselves. His pieces are characterized by a group in society that is not seen nor heard, and a recurring theme is emotional and sorrowful images of children.
