Another day in Paradise – Original

€4.200,00 inc. VAT
Even though we produce enough food to feed the entire world, there are still close to 1 billion people starving worldwide. Huge quantities of edible food are thrown away. In Germany, for example, which is often regarded as the forerunner of recycling and waste handling, 82 kg of edible food are disposed per person per year. Globally, it is estimated that 1.3 billion tons of food get wasted each year. Overproduction and food waste is not only a problem because of filling up landfills but the energy wasted to produce, transport and finally dispose of these foods. This motive is also available as limited edition screen print.

Water is a human right – Original

€4.300,00 inc. VAT
Water is essential for humans and yet it is the perfect tool to distinguish between the poor and the rich. While it is so cheap that you can bath in it in the Western world, people in the poorest parts of the world spend the majority of their income for its supply. The absence of clean drinking water leads to social differences and conflicts. This motive is also available as a limited edition screen print.

Corporate Bubbles – Original

€1.550,00 inc. VAT
During the COP21 World Climate conference 600 advertisement booths were hacked by the Brandalism campaign. For that I was invited to to create two pieces of work, Paradise, which is available as a print and Corporate Bubbles. Both motives were hung in the center of Paris and formed part of the protest. 'Corporate Bubbles' deals with the subject of green-washing and was created when the Volkswagen emission scandal broke. At that time I had my studio very close to Wolfsburg, where the Volkswagen factory is. For this I used newspaper clippings from the region, dealing with VW and its board of directors as a background. The stencil was then sprayed on and details finished using acrylic paint. A limited edition screen print of this motive can be found here. Details:

Conscience Compensated – Original

€6.300,00 inc. VAT
This piece is criticizing the trading of CO2 certificates which allows companies to "compensate" their emissions by buying certificates. In turn they declare their products or services as "carbon-neutral" and even charging more. This won’t be working as the only thing being compensated is their conscience. Instead emissions need to be reduced!

The artist bought several climate certificates which can be seen in the background. Figuratively, these are transferred to the buyer of the art work. The slogan in the back translates to "a clean conscience is a comfortable pillow to rest on".

Climate Carousel – Original

€4.700,00 inc. VAT
It is an ironic take on the “task force” created by the German government to tackle the challenges of the climate emergency. The writing on top of the carousel reads: “erlauben” (to allow), “ermöglichen” (to make possible) and “erleichtern” (to facilitate), which resembles the idleness of politicians towards regulating the economy – in this case the 5 biggest producers of CO2 in Germany (Lufthansa, RWE, BASF, Heidelberg Cement and VW). This motive is also available as limited edition screen print.

Propaganda (Wood) – Original

Maria with baby Jesus on her arm wearing VR glasses. The bright colours and golden halo form a stark contrast to what is lurking in the dark background. The two idols of Christianity are often used by right-wing media and political parties. They use social media and the internet to spread their agenda which destroys the core values of Christianity while claiming to defend them and being guardians of the Occident. The motive is painted onto a wooden board, additionally 24 carat Gold was used to plate the halo. Details:
