Picasso Mural (피카소 벽화)

The underground public pedestrian passage connecting Express Bus Terminal Station and Banpo Hangang Park has been planned as a street gallery for all citizens who love Seoul. In particular, the Picasso Mural created in collaboration with the Spanish Tourism Board, Malaga Tourism Board, and Seocho-gu Office is a 65-meter mural showcasing various aspects of Spain’s Malaga and Seoul through the eyes of Picasso, including architecture, food, tradition, and daily life. The artist who painted this mural is Eduardo Luque, also known as Lalone, a world-renowned graffiti artist and the winner of the European Urban Art Championship. A behind-the-scenes video of the mural’s creation and clips of Lalone at work are shown in the café-style rest area next to the mural.

Some Sevit is a culture complex made up of three man-made floating islands near the southern end of Banpo Bridge. The islands were created with the theme of “flowers of the Hangang River” and represent the view, life, and the earth, as well as a flower in various stages of life. The largest island, ‘Some Gavit’ symbolizes the view and takes the form of a flower in full bloom. It is a multi-functional cultural facility that can be used as a venue for performances, international conferences, exhibitions, and more. The second island, ‘Some Chavit’ looks like a flower bud, an image of life. A range of cultural experiences and event zones including Beat Square, Youth Woods, and restaurants using 3D to bring themes to life are located here. The third and smallest island, ‘Some Solvit’ takes the form of a seed planted in the earth. This island has water sports facilities and an outdoor garden from which you may enjoy the picturesque scenery of the Hangang River. Around the floating islands are LED lights that create a fantastic night view under the theme of “a gleaming light in the mist.”
