Skatecafe Painting

Casper is a multi disciplinary artist always depicting a certain moment in time at a certain place. A moment in which a DJ performs live on the stage on a festival in front of an audience. A scene I relay to portraying them with black ink on paper, using a handfull of brushes and a feather penn, flowing on the rhythm of the music and the intuition of a constant chaos that is the festival stage on a pumping techno party. Another moment in time is that in which this energy makes place for total silence. Silent dance floors, ball rooms and concert halls are empty for two years and they temporarily turned into my private art studio. I was there depicting the esthetics of emptiness captured in a series of oil paintings. A moment in between I depicted a scene on the streets of Minsk, Belarus, the last European dictatorship, here the virus isn’t called covid, but rather Lukachenko. This darkness made place for a year of subtropical Sicilian and Napolitanian urban landscapes. Depicting the streets normally flocked with tourists now making place for yet another unique silent atmosphere.
