“The Enchanted Forest” is an impressive mural in Halle. It is located on the wall of the corrugated cardboard producer Pacapime along the Brussels-Charleroi canal. With an area of no less than 2000 square meters, it is one of the largest murals in Europe.
The artwork was created by the artist collective Treepack and tells the story of several children in an enchanted forest who find paper and cardboard among the waste with which they make origami animals. They dream of a better future in which people and nature live together in harmony. To their surprise, a magical spell brings the crafted animals to life. Children from the city of Halle served as models for the figures in the artwork.

Stunning wall mural
A large fresco will cover, at the beginning of July, the facade of a cardboard producer located on the towpath between Lembeek and Halle (Flemish Brabant).
With 2,000 square meters of surface, this mural will rank among the largest in Europe.

Gooze who comes from Krasnodar and Bozik from Kazan are, indeed, two renowned names on the Russian street art scene, but also internationally. They are thus part of the Treepack collective, which was asked by the authorities of the small town of Flemish Brabant to create an extraordinary work intended to enhance the Senne valley.

If the (imposed) argument of this fresco entitled "The Enchanted Forest" is somewhat corny with an obligatory touch of pedagogical ecology, its size, the quality of the design, inspired, in Bozik's case, by the techniques of the Australian aborigines , as well as the pictorial narrative sequence cut the breath of passers-by.

The work will be called "The Enchanted Forest" and will tell the story of a boy and a girl from Hal who, walking along the Senne, see new rubbish every day. The young girl will use bits of waste to create birds and, the following days, more and more animals will appear while the shores will be much cleaner. The objective of the collective is to use this fresco to make people aware of the beauty of the neighborhood that borders this river and to show that street art has its place in the public space.
