SEAK: Graffiti and Street Art Diary

looking back to the satelite series ive did for the biennale in Shenzhen ill tend to break down my letters more and more recently into plain satellites.
ill started this canvas 3 years ago, and it took me almost 2 month in my studio to finish this baby up.
love and hate are sometimes so close together. iam kinda over with those hardcore detailed big canvases unless ill add a zero at the end or triple the first number.
no one told me 16 years ago that urban art will be so much work.
in anycase thats a keeper deluxe, for sale only in good and the right hands.
still thinking about a good title. it kinda represents the infinitive possibilties, movement, creative chaos, the joy of repeating yourself,….

While everyone is focusing on prints and the secondary market, this rare huge Monster of canvas is now finally finished after 3 years.
My personal record in fighting with a painting in terms of size/action/details/time
Ill guess this one falls under the urban art categorie ” schluesselwerk”, or in other words, its a beautiful highly detailed accident.
Dont know ive it will end up in an auction, or ive i will stash it for someone special.
maybe its time think about some highclass prints.
iam still thinking about a name, “we`re having a party, my memories and me” vs ” the mother of all battles”. i open for suggestions…….

this paper series is my latest full edition of available original artwork, this time on paper.
still playing with the thought of realising it although one time on canvas, but i kinda like the contrast of raw and brutal fatcap spraycan strokes on a fragil and sensibel media like paper.

Somewhere in between post graffiti and street art, i would consider it urban art. those satellites are a further abstraction of my small “a”. yes that crazy turned arround dildoish looking microphone, is a Letter/logo. some of the paper original are in hongkong and shenzhen still available, some of them are still in London. After my show at the biennale in Shenzhen ive followed an invite by infamous london street artist pure evil, who teamed up with Robin Banksy`s ex Wingman “Eine” (himself a true london innercity vandal legend) to put down a major show of the contempoary Uk street/urban art who is who. thanks for flying me in charly.

Kurz vor meiner Einladung zur Biennale nach Shenzhen, und dem davorliegenden Festival in Mexico, ging es nach Karlsruhe zu einem befreundeten Sammler nach Karlsruhe.

Ich war eingeladen in einem kleinen exklusiven Kreis, ihm noch unbekannte Arbeiten zu präsentieren.

Um meinen Flieger nach Guadalajara nicht zu verpassen, liess mich dann für den Weg zurück nach Köln zu einer nächtlichen Taxifahrt überreden.

this one here was a spontainous aswell as exclusive invite from a collector to Karlsruhe in the south of germany. showing selection of newer canvases of my 30×30 Series, before they got shipped to China for the biennale, and i had to go to Mexico for a Show.
He arranged a nice intim private rvsp opening for him and a small circle.
Sometimes i just love that vandal stigmata.

Dieses Tryptichon entstand auf einer Burg in Bozen Tirol.
Genauer gesagt im Messner Mountain Museum, auf einer privaten Veranstaltung eines Sammlerpäärchens.
Die meisten Gäste kamen im eigenen Flugzeug, Reinhold Messner war wohl noch der bodenständigste Entrepreneur neben mir auf dem Abend.
