Creatures of the Forest - Groenlo

Cow Garden Kraanswijk in Groenlo is not just any dairy farm: here, attention is truly given to the biological needs of the cow. “The cow is originally a forest animal, it likes to occasionally go into the meadow but prefers to be in a sheltered environment,” explains owner Chris Bomers. Therefore, the cows are kept in an open barn that blends into the landscape.

Artist SMOK had the opportunity to work at this location to transform several objects into works of art. At this unique location, he developed a 'mini' Silo Art Tour called ''Creatures of the forest'' as the first artist.

A group of three silos was painted using a technique called anamorphosis. They are painted in such a way that a realistic image can only be seen from two viewpoints. In other places, the images appear somewhat mixed or distorted. The second work is colorful and powerful and does not let the viewer go. The artwork on the solitary silo, on the other hand, is calming. This work shows what the cow naturally prefers to do: relax in a wooded environment.
