Rioting Venus Installation

As a street artist I like to work with large scale, colourful motives that seem almost decorative. However, when you take your time and do not fall for that trap, you will discover the true nature of the subject, which often addresses social issues, privacy, our perception of wealth and environmental challenges. I draw my inspiration from my former life as a scientist. This taught me to dig deep into a subject and keep asking questions until I can concentrate the information down to one central idea. I then paint stencils using bright colours to make it more pleasing to the eye and get the audience’s attention, without losing that initial punch. In the studio I work with stencils sprayed on canvas and other objects, hand-made screen-prints and more recently, with "Cut-Outs" where I do not spray my stencils anymore. Instead, they are cut out from thick coloured paper that is then mounted on top of each other. Thus, I create original pieces of art with a 3D-like texture, that grab the viewer's attention to deliver critical statements
