The “Un-hidden Bucharest” basketball jersey, designed by Romanian street artist Pisica Pătrată, is a unique and visually stunning representation of Bucharest’s vibrant neighbourhoods and streets. The design references the artist’s mural artwork titled “Overview,” painted in 2023 at Romexpo, Bucharest, as part of the multidisciplinary art intervention created in collaboration with Vlad Caia, part of the Un-hidden Bucharest project, this jersey encapsulates the essence of the city’s urban landscape.
Inspired by the diverse and eclectic neighbourhoods of Bucharest, the jersey’s design pays homage to the city’s rich history and cultural heritage. The colours chosen for the design are reminiscent of the old symbolic colours of the neighbourhoods from two centuries ago, including yellow, black, blue, green, and red. These colours not only add vibrancy to the jersey but also serve as a bond to Bucharest’s storied past.
The “Un-hidden Bucharest” basketball jersey is a limited edition piece, with only four pieces available. Each jersey is a collector’s item, offering fans of Pisica Pătrată and enthusiasts of urban art a unique opportunity to own a piece of Bucharest’s cultural heritage.
“The mural titled Overview is a visual reinterpretation of observations of urban relations. Geometric representations of urban people as rigid architectures devoid of natural fluidity. The overlapping differences and similarities result in a unified whole so familiar to urban spaces.“

About PISICA PĂTRATĂ
Pisica Pătrată (the Square Cat) is one of the most acclaimed illustrators and muralists in Romania, and also the founder of the Comic Books Museum. He has an intense activity, with many public appearances, book launches, comics, magazines, personal exhibitions, participation in festivals and a long series of murals. In the Un-hidden Street Art in Romania book and the map, you can find a good part of the works and artistic installations featuring Pisica Pătrată‘s characters, which reconfigure forgotten spaces in the urban environment, galleries or even museums.
In recent years, we have been happy to have several opportunities to collaborate with Pisica Pătrată by creating one of the most beloved murals in Bucharest and a street art installation on the façade of the Capitol Summer Theatre (2008, 2016, 2017). We exhibited some of his astonishing paintings in multiple collective exhibitions at Kube, Lente, Palatul Universul, Romanian Design Week and Imbold Gallery. In the living room and in the urban garden of Lente, you can find the mural made in 2016, within the series Pictăm Pereți, and the wooden totem Un-hidden Bucharest (2017). Also, in collaboration with the Un-hidden Bucharest project, Pisica Pătrată installed 6 wooden panels on the façade of the Cina building, which hosts the M60 Space (2018). At the end of last year (2020) we invited Pisica Pătrată to paint a large canvas during the feeder sound live session with Primărie. In 2021, we had the pleasure to work again with Pisica Pătrată creating two street art interventions, one in Bucharest, within the Street Art București project, and one in Constanta during the Un-hidden Romania urban regeneration programme.
A part of the collection of wooden art toys assembled and painted by Pisica Pătrată, as well as other limited edition items, are available in the feeder.ro/shop.
You can find out more about the Pisica Pătrată by reading the extended feeder insider interview, browsing the digital catalogue of works or the 300 news and articles indexed in the feeder.ro archive.
