POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Tomorrow I’ll part of “INSIGHT“. A groupshow by @akut_herakut at @affenfaustgalerie, in Germany.

I was Invited to take part in this great project and exhibition by @akut_herakut, an artist I’ve had great admiration for since before I started painting murals.

The INSIGHT exhibition provides a unique look at over 80 internationally renowned street and urban art as well as graffiti artists from all over the world. The focus is on a series of portraits by the contemporary artist and photographer Falk Lehmann, alias AKUT, presented in different variations. For more than 10 years, a unique collection of photos of his colleagues, role models and friends has been created, with their own artistic work projected onto their faces for the portrait. AKUT, active since the 1990s and internationally recognized for his photorealistic style, understands the face as a kind of canvas that is marked by traces of one’s individual life and is therefore unique. The projection of the works of art as an important passion of those portrayed leads to the visualized merge of private individuals and artists‘ personalities.

“RUDY” - Erie, Pennsylvania 2019

One of the many stories I’ve been privileged to tell throughout the years. This is my first time sharing this project, although it’s been one of my most memorable experiences.

Rudy and I shared some great moments and this clip is from one of the many conversations we had.
