‘Soulmates’ – Original

€2.750,00 inc. VAT
I first painted a mural with this motive at Berlin's Teufelsberg Radar Station early in 2017. Since then it has made quite the impacted and was featured by many blogs online and on facebook, such as IsupportStreetArt.com, @street_art_community.
A making of video painting at Teufelsberg can be found here. Description: ‘Soulmates’ shows Donald Trump (President of the United States) on the left and Bakr al-Baghdadi (leader of the Islamic State) on the right. Both have turned their back to one another but are united on a giant dark red heart. The idea was to show the similarities of these seemingly opposing identities and ideologies. They have far more in common than one might think:

extreme simplification of reality, which divides the world in ‘black-and-white’, ‘we’ against ‘them’ etc.

convinced that they are right/ speaking for the people.

authoritarian rebellion against the ruling system (‘the West’ and ‘the establishment’) which in their view does not represent the majority of the people.

abolishing democracy and its liberties.

reactionary ideas: authoritarian view, anti-liberalism, anti-feminism, patriarchy, traditional gender roles.

conspiracy theories which draws them as victims: The own culture is threatened by an invasion of ‘The West’ / ‘Immigrants’.

fighting against refugees (displacement of people / ‘Muslim ban’)

and I think most frightening of all: They both believe, they are good people. Details:

iPod Buddha – Original

€1.550,00 inc. VAT
The icon for the disciples of Apple, iPod, iPad, iPhone etc. Every time a new version is launched the disciples are waiting in front of the store as if the messiah is returning. Steve Jobs was a hippie and Buddhist or a capitalistic sociopath? A laughing Buddha with a halo made out of apples? No problem for people who treat this company like a religion. Steve Jobs would be proud.

Details:

hand cut stencil sprayed + background (aerosol) on canvas.

Size 80 x 70 cm.

Playtime – Original

€1.400,00 inc. VAT
A little kid is pushing a car with a mounted gunner. ‘Playtime’ addresses the response of world leaders following events such as 9/11 or more recently in Paris, the downing of a Russian airplane at the Turkish border etc. Quickly, war is declared, planes deployed and it begins again. It feels like a little kid is over-reacting and without thinking, strikes. In this case the little kids are prime ministers or presidents who should know better, who should sit down and think instead of sending their armies abroad.
This motive is also available as screen print here.
Details:

hand cut stencil sprayed (aerosol) on colour background (acryl) on canvas.

Jumper – Original

€3.300,00 inc. VAT
An East German Soldier jumping the barbed wire fence in Berlin, just moments before the German wall was built. The picture of Hans Conrad Schumann jumping into a new life (original photo taken by Liebing) became iconic for the cold war era and the struggle for freedom. 55 years later, Europe is building its borders higher to keep refugees out...

Life Sucks – Original

€1.650,00 inc. VAT
… when your ipod only has 1 GB. Taking into perspective what really matters in our lives is sometimes hard to see. When you are surrounded by wealth one quickly forgets that big parts of the world are not that lucky, that there might be more important things than the choice of for example the music-playing device. This work does not describe a “first-world” problem. It also reflects on what people consider important, spending money on crap instead of taking care of themselves.

Size: 100 x 60 cm.
