PIG ME!! Painting

UnderTaci (Nicolas Wridt Hansen) is the pseudonym and wordplay of OverTaci (Louis Marcussen) a tribute and honor to a famous danish painter who lived most of his life at a psychiatric hospital in Risskov, Denmark. A place where I also went, but for other reasons though as a forensic patient due to my dark past as a criminal. During my stay I got diagnosed with Bipolar/ADHD and the treatment changed my life dramatically. At the same time I had a visit from my mom who brought me a canvas and a brush. I was sceptical to begin with but eventually gave it a shot and slowly from there I began my artistic work and developed it into a passion where I found a way out of crime and a new direction with life. Today I am a 31-year old Art Gallery owner in the center of Aarhus, Denmark, and is best known for works which convey my inner demons from the past, social circumstances and express them with high intensity on the canvas. My other projects is to fight for better conditions at mental institutions, helping young people to avoid getting into crime through creative art workshops.
