Das Thema: Heimat, Veedel, Scholle, Herkunft, Koeln, rheinische Lebensart
ist jedenfalls noch lange nicht bei mir erschöpft. Ich fange quasi gerade erst an.
Hier später mehr.
i finally finished the last of 12 Service Stations in my Neigbourhood.
The theme ill gave myseld was: turf/hood/barrio.
Übers Wochenende waren zwei alte Graffitikollegen aus Düsseldorf Flingern zu Besuch.
Wir haben endlich die “in your Face” Wand mit den Nordlichtern, und den NewYorkern
fertigt gesprüht.
Der Bildtitel des linken Wandbildes ist übrigens:”It feels so good it must be wrong”.
Ein befreundeter Leinwand Sammler wünscht sich seit ein paar Wochen,
das ich das Bild mal unter dem Titel “High Life” auf Leinwand umsetzten sollte.
Dreideutige Multi dimensionale Metakommunikation überall wo man hinsieht.
Werde die nächsten Tage bei mir hier im Viertel noch eine weitere Wand anfangen
mal gucken was mir da so einfällt. Zur Zeit sind Experimente jeder Art angesagt.

Over the Weekend i had some “back in the days” Artist friends from Duesseldorf over, for a little spraypaint session. We joined forces to finish the “in your face” Mural ive started in february with my Friends from NYC/slash almost finsihed a few weeks ago with an old buddy from up North and his Wing. The Odds and teh weather were against us. nuff said its finally finished and it goes perfect with the “it feels so good it must be wrong” Mural on the left. Did i mention a Collectors buddy who has that Mural on his “Seak can you this one as a 2m x 2m canvas, Title “high Life”.
Sometimes you see Metacommunication everywhere you look.
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…….
Nach denn ganzen Ausstellungen und freien Arbeiten der letzten Jahre, hatte ich mal wieder richtig Lust auf eine Naturalistische Anfrage wo ich gegenständlich sprühen konnte.
Thema und Motiv haben der Auftraggeber und ich gemeinsam bei ein paar Tassen Espresso erarbeitet.
The good thing about doing commission/murals, there is usually a very healthy budget, the money is fast and easy, you can be someone else for a few hours, fool arround artisticly, have a laugh, learn a new approach on building up a painting, and get artistcly naughty and kinky besides your regular line of work as an artist. esspecially when you have a crazy client like this one here.
this atomic bomb mural is by the why the major wall of a living room.

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.
