A Shift in the Direction 1997-1998
As one can imagine from reading my former posts about my history, these birth- and death-experiences led to a shift in the direction of my life. And as there has been a shift in the direction of my life, there has been a shift in my artistical expression also. My works started to point more and more inwards and became more influenced by geometrical, fractal patterns or organical ones on the other hand.
Here you can see my first kaleidoscope-like works emerging out of the letter K, which later led me to my logo which I still use and I´m still working with these geometrical-fractal patterns that I created out of the essence of my graffiti styles.
Summer 1993
In the summer following the contest I had a good time travelling around a bit and painting a lot. I think I never painted as much as I did in that time. I was still a teenager and it felt just right. Life seemed easy for a while.
I went to Munich with a friend and I was invited to paint in Dresden, where I went with my new friends from Hamburg.
From there we moved straight forward to Itzehoe, where a big graffiti happening took place at a huge industrial area that was permitted to be painted everywhere. This area then became the biggest Hall of Fame in northern Germany for more than a decade before it was torn down finally.
And I went to Hamburg lots...
Freak 1990
This is one of my first pieces. I did it together with my best friend at school times. Another friend of us wanted his room painted and he chose the word "Freak"...
TSW Hit 1991
I did this piece at the main entrance of my school in 1991 together with Salomon aka Scez aka Keno (who died in 2004) and another guy who painted just for a short time. I made the "TSW" and the "Hit" while Salomon made the characters and the "1991". The other guy did a helper job I think.
