Street Art Tour | ±6km

The horse on the corner of Lenghen Street is somewhat reminiscent of Dalí. The fading thin legs and checkerboard patterns mostly raise questions. Serge Kortenbroek did not give his work a title, so everyone can make up their own answers. The mural was installed in 2016 during a project by Iconoclash.

On the blind wall of the garage on the Achterom is the gigantic artwork by Joran Roukes. He produced this work for the celebration of the "Ode to the Synod" in 2019.

From here, walk left and go through the underpass next to Bots Mode.

On this object of Stedin you will find the stylized work of Danny Rumbl, the Pheasant.
The work is part of a series of 3 works through the center, the pheasant and other accessories to the artworks are a reflection on the accessories found in the old artworks found in for example the Dordrechts Museum.

After this, walk along the water, turn left across the bridge. On the right you will see the next painting.

Illustrator and Muralist Hedof created this mural in 2016 due to the celebration of the landmark, Iconoclasm Word Storm. The mural is a free interpretation there are several references to the iconoclasm where the image itself uses the Biesbosch as inspiration.

Continue walking down Spuiweg and turn right at the traffic circle. Diagonally across the street you will see the next location.

At the beginning of the Geldelozepad and in the parking lot Vinegar Place, you can see these colorful murals and graffiti. A few garage doors were painted by Bram Verbrugge. The other artists are unknown.

The creative duo Telmo Miel crafted this surreal artwork for the Beeldenstroom Woordenstorm festival. For the artwork, they looted images from the Dordrecht archives to create this beautiful work titled, "Not as creepy as I seem.

The work "Power to the People" by Eindhoven-based artist Johan Moorman was designed in response to the 2016 Beeldenstroom Woordenstorm Festival. It refers to the iconoclasm and present day. The image shows the shaky foundation an average system.

Cross the water via the pedestrian bridge, turn left onto the Boogjes, then turn right onto Dolhuisstraat.

Iconoclash's very first mural. Created for the 2016 Iconoclash Word Storm Festival. Contemporary translation of Iconoclash suggests a comparison between the giving way of image for word with the now taking place fusion of our reality with the digital world. The work is titled (Sub)Merge.

Continue to follow the Spuiweg.

On the blind wall of the iconic Dolhuis (Hoek Dolhuisstraat/Schoolstraat) you will find "a" work of art by local artist Simian Switch. Since 2016, a pact with the Dolhuis has provided a personal canvas for this artist who is also the curator of all murals in downtown Dordrecht.

Walk down Dolhuisstraat and turn right onto Voorstraat.

At the intersection between Voorstraat and Botgenstraat, you will find Simian Switch's three-headed elephant on the Botgensteiger. Where previously stood an artwork by Rutger Termohlen, the scaffolding needed an update after restoration of the walls.
In consultation with the neighborhood and property owner, the Elephant was installed on the blind wall.
Continue down Voorstraat and cross the bridge at City Hall. Turn right and after 50 meters turn left into the Vleeshouwerstraat. At the end turn right again into the Varkenmarkt and after about 100 meters at the third alley on the right you will find the next mural.

In a passage right with stairs to the Voorstraatshaven you will find the mural "The closer to Dordt, the more beautiful it becomes. In this Street Art route, of course, the Schapenkop cannot be missing. Dordents are called 'Schapenkoppen' after an old legend. Unfortunately, the artist of this work is not known.

With this beautiful collaboration leading to a transition from figurative work to abstract forms, the baton was passed to Robert Visser. This object is Robert's first and Danny's last from their series of works.
Not everything always goes smoothly. After persistent complaints about 1 of the sides of the artwork by Danny Rumbl and Robert Visser, it was decided to modify it.
Simian Switch, in consultation with local residents, placed an appropriate less prominent image in the form of a solid robin.

The mural incorporates a poem about the sense of tasting by former city poet Juno. Also in the pot are various objects that recall the history of the place: a doll from the former orphanage around the corner, cloves and lamps.

This is where the walk ends. If you made it a bike tour, you can extend it with Bird Art and Abstract tour.
