Ah lots of fun in this collaboration with the guys at ATM / MTA. A few days painting and having fun in the studio produced 88 canvases ! One complete and utter 7 meter wall of MADNESS. Big shout out to ELIOT, EMESS and all the crew who participated at STROKE this year.

The most fun was had in collaboration with ELIOT at the live painting event at STREET LABS Urban Circus.

We had one hour to paint a 9x3m canvas and approached this with the high art ethic of ‘Pommes mit Ketchup’ … whilst taking breaks from this laborious and monumental task, Mr ELIOT took the mic and dropped super delicious Beat Box riddims whilst I loaded up the paint blasterwith Ketchup and let rip …..

Acrylic, plastic and Rustolium on Burlap.
Im experimenting here, after a few nights in the laboratory, burning things, throwing dangerous liquids around, I stumbled upon some happy accidents as I was painting.
I mean, I just like this Idea of using trash in my paintings, especially plastic and plastic bags, painting with just… emotions. It feels like a better reflection of our times – UTTER TRasH !
