About The Artwork

SOPHIE LA GIRAFE is an iconic French teething toy that basically EVERY French baby has owned for the past 50 years. I paint in a style I call "RETRO POP" and this is the perfect subject for me.... Using the iconic Girafe image and shape - but playing with it. Here I imagined that SOPHIE is now a rebellious teenager - with a punk vibe - tattoed, pierced and spunk - hanging out in the Belleville neighborhood of Paris - by the AUX FOLIES bar where all the sprayers and models mix... This painting has multiple layers of paint and is a rough artwork - mimicking graffiti art on a textured wall. The canvas is gallery wrapped. The artwork is wired and ready to hang. Tagged "DE" in the front and signed and dated in the back. There will be a whole series of SOPHIE paintings - this is my very first one. Please Note - all artworks are sprayed with museum quality archival fixative and are sent with a hand written thank you note and certificate of authenticity.

I am a German artist and lived in New York City, New Orleans and Mare Island near San Francisco. Now we are moving studio and life to the South of France. "Art has been my passion all my life - abstract art with a twist is how I like to express myself. Painting for me is meditation through repetition. Form is everything - until you step back and see my paintings from further away..." Art Idols are Yayoi Kusama, Mark Rothko, Gerhard Richter, Damien Hirst, Roy Liechtenstein and Wayne Thiebaud. Quoting Paul Klee: "A line is a dot that went for a walk"... Works in public and private collections , among others in USA, South Africa, Singapore, Canada, Australia, India, United Kingdom, France and more
