The Hague City Council (Gemeente Den Haag) commissioned a beautification programme for the city’s Electrical Substations.
Last year I got busy and have been busy trying to photograph as many of them as I can.
Since I’m still not mobile, this is a post from my archive files to show so some more of the street art on display in Den Haag.
If you live locally enough, you can find this electrical sub-station on the Regentesselaan in The Hague.
For me personally, it’s not a style I’d like to have say, as painting in my living room wall, but I am delighted to see the energetic colour and electric vibe of it in the street, especially on what was formerly a boring grey/green box in the middle of quite a busy road.
Every city needs a splash of colour after all…

We have the similar thing here in Auckland, but they do it on the smaller ones not the big step down transformers

I love street art; it’s so cheerful.

As long as we choose to use these technologies, and they provide flat surfaces, putting art on them should be a no-brainer. Fascinating to see.

Might shock, well, not me. I used to see so many different kinds of art; I look at this with a very keen and interesting eye. Thank You presenting these!
