Gigantic drawings of penises and sex scenes have appeared on walls of the capital of Belgium, within public view. For over a week now, local residents and tourists have been shocked by the emergence of sexually explicit graffiti on Brussels’ facades.
An explicit image of a woman’s vagina appeared on Rue des Poissonniers, in the stylish Dansaert neighbourhood, while in the centrally located Place Stéphanie, a graffiti of a woman masturbating also appeared earlier this week.
The latest licentious street art – a gigantic penis painted in black and white – appeared in the business district of Saint Gilles in front of a Catholic institute. Saint Gilles is an extremely busy area, and the drawing has already sparked controversy among local residents.
In the Parliament of the French-speaking Community known as Federation Wallonia-Brussels, an MP Vincent Henderick described the street art as “inappropriate”.
