Bart Leep

Bart Leep (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) is a Dutch muralist who has been transforming the city’s façades into playful storytelling surfaces for over a decade. Working directly with brush on brick, he blends street-art attitude with the craftsmanship of traditional mural painting. Leep’s work often nods to Dutch heritage — from iconic symbols to everyday cultural references — all reimagined with a warm, contemporary twist. His trompe-l’œil pieces, like the much-loved “Oldfashioned Weather House”, invite passersby to look twice and smile. Known for his clean lines, clever concepts, and ability to make architecture part of the artwork, Leep brings character to quiet streets and busy squares alike. Today, his murals continue to brighten neighbourhoods across the Netherlands, proving that even the simplest wall can spark imagination.
