Stores were usually open from early morning and closed at night, so few people noticed the roller shutters that came down after closing time. Until Vienna was shut down due to the epidemic, the doors of stores, restaurants, and bars were locked in the empty, cold streets, and the heavy, gray roll-up doors were left down for weeks or even months. Some shopkeepers, on a whim, decided to do some landscaping on the exterior of their stores, and their unassuming roll-up doors could just as well serve as a large canvas for artistic creativity.
Café Mobel is located in Vienna's Castle Lane in the first district, the owner has long been planning to make an artistic transformation of the roller shutter door, the epidemic shutdown this period of time just to put this idea into practice.

These street art style works not only play a signboard and advertising role, but also for the citizens of the monotonous life to bring life and fun, and even the Austrian national television made a special issue about ? Roller shutter art? The program.
These urban street graffiti usually only lasts for a short time before being covered over with new paintings. But it's through this simple and intuitive platform that a number of street artists have showcased their talents and been recognized by a wider audience. For example, a fashion store owner named Sandra was taking a walk when she noticed a painting by the pseudonym? Ms. Issa? s female artist, and then invited the female artist to make her store's roll-up door a work of art as well.
