Graffiti I Streetart I Silk City Gallery 2021 I Seidenweberhaus Krefeld I Martini Pitture I Daniela Lazazzara I Beuys I Lifstye street art - Martino Pitture & Daniele Lazazzara/Italiy return Martino Anfang "Untitled" Martin: Facebook * Instagram Daniele: Facebook * Instagram Already on the stairs to the 1st floor you can see the strong blue tones of the Italian artists Martino Pitture & Daniele Lazazzara from Italy. You can find more information about the images below. (...) Artist information (...) Annotation: In this picture, the fascination for me at first came from the color "blue". This color dominated from day one and I kept scurrying by to see how the work would develop. In addition, two things particularly fascinated me. On the one hand, there were the exaggerated proportions of the two figures on the right. On the other hand, it was the kangaroo that, although it matched the two figures harmoniously with its coloring, was more angular and futuristic in style. However, the powerful image effect only became apparent after the removal of the scaffolding. Where am I looking? What does the rabbit mean? Questions upon questions I asked the two artists after the event. According to the artists themselves, the basic idea for their picture is nature and interpersonal relationships. The complexity of the interaction between nature and man should be presented. Daniele wants to bring people into the cities with his oversized kangaroo. The animals enliven a concrete landscape and Beuys will find (his) place in the kangaroo's belly. So far, Daniele provides his own idea, since the two actually want to encourage the visitor to write their own story. They specify individual elements, such as the rabbit. The rest is up to the viewer's imagination. I catch myself finding new ways of interpreting it the more often I look at the picture in the Seidenweberhaus or on the PC. For me, this picture is a very active picture, not only because I delved deeper into Beuys' life, but also because the two artists spoke very friendly and openly about their pictures. Martinos You can find verbatim explanations of his picture in the short interview below. According to the artists, the picture does not have a title, but it can be seen as a successful homage to Beuys. Short interview Martino & Daniele: Martino Pitture :"Hello Kerstin. The idea of the painting arose on a purely aesthetic level from Beuys' performance in which he showed pictures to a dead rabbit. But the core of my reflections concerns the human tendency to place themselves at the center of every thought. So I wanted to split up the characters by creating two symmetrical characters, the first of which has the live animal's point of view showing the world to a human skull. Then I like to give symbolic references in all my works without explicitly formulating a message, in order to leave room for interpretation. The stories the viewer makes up are often more interesting than those contained in the work." Question: Are the exaggerated proportions a sign of your special style or is the overly long neck of the figure on the right supposed to say something special? Yes, the characters in my oil paintings usually have these proportions. I try to combine aesthetic beauty with wrong proportions. Source: Martino Pitture personally Daniele Lazazzara: "The rabbit and the skull are the work of the great Martino Pitture. My drawing represents a surreal kangaroo, this animal protects the young in nature, in this case the kangaroo protects the structure and therefore the mystery of these spaces in others dimensions" Daniele is also a tattoo artist. The pictures he put onInstagram shows, I really like it :-). Source: Daniele Lazazzara personally * * * Martinos Erklärung mehr lesen Artist information M. Pitture/D.

Twice in each of the 650 anniversary years, the whole of Krefeld will become a canvas for a week. Krefeld citizens were able to make suggestions for areas to be painted. These were lovingly and extremely creatively designed by around 20 national and international artists. Follow me now on a weather-independent tour through the somewhat more colorful velvet and silk city of Krefeld. (... ) Note to the © (... ) Björn von Schulz Björn von Schulz/Germany - Urban Art Gallery Krefeld 2023 Weiter Nordstr. 118, 47798 Krefeld (06.-11.08.23) The young woman and the lamb ... that's what I call this beautiful picture painted at Nordstr. 118 in Krefeld by Björn von Schulz from Münster, where he was born in 1978. As a designer, illustrator and graffiti artist, Björn von Schulz quickly recognized his passion for figurative drawing and painting As he also had the talent for this style of painting, he quickly gained recognition in the scene. As a founding member of the artist collective and later creative agency "Studio Egotrips", Björn was able to prove his talent and intention. In 2015 he gave up the agency artist's life and embarked on new paths of his own. This allowed him to concentrate fully on his own art, his own "way of art". His art has been on display at home and abroad for over 20 years. Björn has also made a name for himself with various publications. He has only been painting murals and participating in various festivals since 2019. Even though photographing this picture was a bit special again, as I had to block the road from time to time, this picture radiates calm and thoughtfulness for me. The woman, who is no longer quite young, seems to be wearing a kind of "shepherdess" costume. Surrounded by green branches, I perceive a closeness to nature or a return to nature. In 2015, von Schulz left his familiar paths, the agency life, and concentrated fully on his art. He has been exhibiting his work in Germany and abroad for over 20 years now and regularly appears in various publications. Since 2019, there has been an increased focus on wall works and painting at festivals. Quellen: Artist Profile - Bjoern von Schulz - YoungArt, Björn von Schulz , Stadt Bibliothek Rheine 2022 Julia Bethke/Germany - Urban Art Gallery Krefeld 2023 Weiter Tannenstr. 42, 47798 Krefeld (06.-11.08.23) Julia Bethke discovered her creative interest and artistic talent in her youth. It quickly became clear that she would follow this career path.She then completed her training as a stage painter at the Theater & Philharmonie Essen as part of a 3-year apprenticeship, where she learned a wide variety of techniques. Essen is the third location in Germany for this training, alongside Berlin and Baden-Baden. (I love this theater and have seen many performances there over a long period of time and was always impressed by the unconventional, unusual stage and costume design). She completed her compulsory internship at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein in Duisburg. She was totally "flashed" at the interview when she realized that she would have to learn many new things and techniques in this job. Her enthusiasm and passion for "her art" enabled her to successfully complete this demanding, creative school. She soon realized that the profession of stage painter has long since been just about "swinging brushes", but that larger projects also require manual skills and dexterity and that you always have to get stuck in and lug things around. (...) Huge backdrops and floors often have dimensions that exceed a normal apartment size, which is obviously exactly Julia Bethke's thing, who always goes about her work with perfectionism. Like many creative people, the fact that you can see what you have created is an important factor in her professional fulfillment. The Rheinisches Landtheater Neuss, the Theater Dortmund and the Theater für Niedersachsen in Hildesheim have been further stations in her professional career. As an employee in these theaters, she not only designed stage sets as illusion and imitation paintings, but also gave furniture, floors and walls a new creative outfit. She has also embellished large backdrops with her special style of painting. You can find some impressive examples of her creativity on her homepage . In addition to theater projects, she also shows various interior embellishments with a detailed making off as well as some private paintings. She has been working freelance since summer 2021. In times of the corona epidemic, she took the plunge into the cold water of self-employment and began to develop her own brand. "JueLIEBE" became her creative trademark. She likes the name Juelie, she tells Esther Jansen in the Kredo interview, which her uncle had given her earlier. By adding the first two letters of her surname, she came up with her stage name "JuLIEBE". She loves to create illusions. She is able to recreate tiles, wood, asphalt, rust or marble in a lifelike way. In her opinion, anything you can imagine can be imitated. A very valuable skill in her creative work, in my opinion. Using spray cans, spatulas, rollers and lots of brushes, she now carries out a wide variety of commissioned works, e.g. in schools and restaurants, from the initial idea to the final execution. In this way, she transports the viewer into her own colorful world. In 2021, she left an impressive reminder for nature as part of the Silk City Gallery Krefeld with a contribution about bees. In an interview with Esther Jansen, published in Kredo on 02.09.22, it becomes clear, among other things, that colors and textures are not only her profession but also her vocation. Her home is a reflection of her colorful passion. She has lived in Krefeld with her partner since 2020 and has made Krefeld a little more beautiful in many places with her art. Further details can be found in the Kredo interview from 02.09.22.

After emigrating from Israel, she settled in the USA/Houston and found her true calling in painting. Over the years, she has created countless works of art in the USA and all over the world on various media, such as walls, floors, canvases, practically anything that can carry color. She has painted in Western Australia, China, India, Israel, the Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain and, of course, Canada and the USA. She speaks fluent English, Hebrew and Spanish. In the course of her eventful career, she has also won many awards and prizes. As the multidisciplinary artist Anat considers herself to be, she is not only able to earn a living with her versatile art, she also participates in national and international street painting and street art festivals. After the Wood Art Gallery in 2015 and the Rhine Side Gallery in 2017, the exceptional artist Anat Ronen will be back at the anniversary Urban Art Gallery in 2023. (... ) Anat weite lesen She brought us a special piece of art. As she told me, she has been collecting orphaned family photos for a while now. Among other things, she buys old photos on eBay that no one is interested in or where there are simply no more descendants. At festivals where she doesn't have to deliver commissioned work, she breathes personality and life into these pictures for a while. By painting these pictures large on walls, they become visible to the viewer. Everyone knows the small moments in such pictures, has perhaps experienced similar ones or remembers their own, almost forgotten encounters and feelings. In this way, the orphaned pictures receive renewed attention and are not forgotten. When I took my photos of the Helios wall a few days ago, similar thoughts crossed my mind. I also have family memories of similar situations. "It's not how long you wait, but who you wait for." (Some like it hot, 1959)" However, I could only really grasp Anats Ronen's intentions after she kindly explained her motives for the Krefeld pictures to me. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Anat once again for her input, which makes her pictures even more vivid. Forgive me for the intense play of light and shadow, which made it impossible to achieve a uniform exposure of her pictures. I actually wanted to take new pictures with fewer shadows at another time, but then decided against it because it is precisely this play of light that gives the pictures a life of their own. My own representation of these pictures has emerged in the course of editing, has been approved by Anat Ronan and shows a little of my perception of her art. Source: Anat Ronan personally Krefeld im Oktober 23 fabio fedele/Italien - Urban Art Gallery Krefeld 2023 Seyffardtstraße - Wand Helios, 47805 Krefeld (06.-11.08.23) Weiter Fabio Fedele was in Krefeld for his first European project since 2017 on the occasion of the Urban Art Gallery 2023 to mark Krefeld's 650th birthday. Fabio explains that it doesn't really matter to him whether he puts his art on the walls of his own front door, the neighbor around the corner or in a distant country. It is important to him what he paints and that this painting is in a good relationship with its surroundings. Corona has changed a lot. International projects mean an enormous amount of energy, work and costs for the artist. Financially, these projects offer no profit, rather the opposite. While he still took part in international festivals about every two years before Covid, he now sees much less incentive to travel to these events. Not least because street art projects are currently springing up like mushrooms. In order to "do his thing", to live his art, he no longer needs to travel internationally. (... ) Fortunately, he received an invitation he couldn't refuse and could be sure of the support of his better half. In Krefeld, the introverted loner was able to work on his art with old friends and make new ones, immortalizing the enchanting world of elves in their natural environment on the dreary wall of Helios Hospital. According to him, he was able to use his stay in the silk city of Krefeld to learn, observe and discover new perspectives. When you hear that the journey back to his Italian homeland took 18 hours, and when you consider the sometimes bad weather during the "painting days", you can empathize with the artist how happy and relieved he was to be back home with his better half and his small human and furry family. A big thank you to the conscious "better half", who was probably instrumental in the fact that we Krefeld residents can now call a whole cheerful elfin family our own. It took 4 pictures to capture all the magical, young, mostly female mythical creatures. They seem to feel very much at home among the magical, colorful flowers and all kinds of creepy-crawlies. Visitors and patients of the Helios Clinic, as well as people hurrying past in Krefeld, can enjoy the magic of the fairy world for a moment, if they can find the time to follow the art of the Italian free spirit. Vita: Fabio Maria Fedele comes from Rovigo, northern Italy, near Venice. There he graduated in "History and Conservation of Architectural and Environmental Heritage", followed by a degree in Architecture. Having discovered his passion for drawing as a child, he developed his skills in many different areas. He has been working as a street artist since 1993 and added the 3D field in 2006. He has achieved the highest artistic titles awarded in Italy. These include "Maestro Madonnaro" in Grazie di Curtatone and "Magister Madomnaris" in Nocera Superiore. Although he mainly works as a street artist in northern Italy, he has also painted in Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain, the United Arab Emirates and the USA. He also works as an illustrator in archaeological museums. An extremely versatile artist.

As the materials used, such as chalk and pastel, were very perishable due to the weather, it has only been possible to preserve these images for posterity since the invention of photography. The cheerful robot at the entrance to the Seidenweberhaus has an easier time of it. For the time being, its preservation is assured, even if it patiently bears the garbage of "forgetful" contemporaries (... ) For some 20 years now, anamorphic street painting has also been making inroads in Italy. This 3D chalk art, now also known as 3D street painting, enhances street painting enormously, as it produces extremely realistic moments. The viewer is automatically drawn into a lifelike scene, most impressively if he or she pays attention to the specific point from which the picture is to be viewed. Here, too, you have to walk back and forth along the wall of the Helios Clinic until you find the perfect spot, hoping that a parked car is not occupying it. Cuboliquido was born in Milan in 1974. He has been making a living from his art since 1992 and discovered his passion for street art in 1994. First as a graffiti artist and later as a traditional Madonnari artist (street painting of traditional Madonna images and religious motifs with pastels). Today, two of his Madonnari artworks are exhibited in a basilica in Bethlehem and in Mexico City. Since 2009, he has focused particularly on anamorphic 3D street painting and has participated in many international street art festivals, where he has won numerous prizes. He has presented his paintings across Europe, in Russia, the USA, Latin America, Thailand, China, the Middle East and South Africa. He has worked for many well-known companies such as Disney, Universal Cinema, Amazon, Coca Cola, Samsung, Unilever, Warner Bros and many more. To date, he has participated as a street painter in over 200 events of various kinds. He is the first artist to combine 3D street painting with animated videos (video mapping) and his work has been shown at three different art biennials and other contemporary art exhibitions. He was awarded the title of Maestro Madonnaro in Grazie die Curtatone and in March 2017 he won first prize in the world's most important competition for 3D street art in Dubai.

For the Krefeld Urban Art Festival 2023, he has conjured up a powerful, jumping horse with an Amazon on the wall above the Krefeld restaurant "Schümli". After the first photos I took there and a very nice, if unfortunately not very informative conversation with the team and guests of the Schümli, I got some information about his art from Ruben himself. A big thank you to Ruben at this point. Ruben doesn't give an explanation of his painting as he doesn't want to make a specific statement for the viewer. Instead, he approaches a new work of art more intuitively by familiarizing himself with the ground that is to be painted, looking at the people, the neighbourhood and the city. He looks to see if there are any local stories, myths or similar that can give him a feeling for the wall. He himself calls his painting "Hope & Liberty". As he likes action very much, he has chosen a jumping horse here. A horse jumps in a fraction of a second. Ruben wanted to bring this effect of frozen time, the paused moment, closer to the viewer. The horse was quickly given a rider, in this case a female rider. It is possible that the Lorelei legend inspired him to create this lady, but it could also be a classic depiction of a female figure with a torch, which could stand for independence and freedom. But as Ruben says, the interpretation is up to the viewer. He is interested in the action and a source of light that gives the picture an "inner light" and a feeling outside of reality. (... ) Ruben Poncia paints graphically, not photorealistically. He paints with brushes and creates the shapes of his pictures through the direction of his brushstrokes. The physical nature of the wall and the surroundings are largely decisive for his works. He creates his sketches in black and white, the colors are then supposed to blend in with the surroundings. When I post-processed my photos, the colors seemed a little pale and dark. After reading about Ruben's working methods and looking at the wall again, I now perceive the colors as absolutely fitting into the surroundings. As the time that artists have for a painting is limited, a project like this quickly becomes a sport. The artist's ideas, his own physical condition and the changing weather make the whole thing a challenge. In addition, there is the operation of the lift, sufficient fuel and whatever else may be required. The artist gives his all every day to stay on schedule. In his email to me, Ruben thanks the Krefeld team once again, who, like all the other artists, gave him great support in all matters. He also had fond memories of the people in the neighborhood. He had to fetch a bucket of water from the "Schümli" a few times, was warmly welcomed there and was happy about any kind of communication with people passing by. Some complimented him, some probably expressed negative opinions. But for Ruben Poncia, all of this falls under satisfactory communication. And so, in my opinion, street art has done its job of creating art in public space for the public. While I was photographing, people kept coming to see what I was doing, only to see the picture they hadn't seen before. These brief moments of communication are also important to me, as they are always a contact with the outside world, however brief.

He lived there in Huarte and Vitoria and in Germany in Göttingen, Bremen and Rheinberg. As soon as he grew up, he began to beautify the streets with his art not only in his home city of Pamplona, but also in numerous other cities, including Barcelona, Milan, Turin, Göttingen, Berlin and many more. With his special feeling for street art, he has won numerous prizes at Spanish and Basque graffiti and street art festivals. (... ) His art is characterized by the special combination of his urban roots, visible through tattoos and graphic design, and 3D art. The term "Corte", which translates as "cut" in German, can be found as part of his artist name. This is how his artistic activity developed from various art genres such as graphic design, classical art and graffiti. He works freelance in the fields of wall art, decoration, illustration, fine art and graphic design. This is Jabi's first time at a street art festival in Krefeld and he has chosen an extremely "hot" time for his painting. Even though you would expect a native Spaniard to be relatively tolerant of heat, I was able to see for myself how exhausting it was to work in these temperatures. His painting for Krefeld is entitled "Arantxa eta Agustín, beti gogoan". According to the artist, it is a tribute to his aunt Arantxa and his uncle Augustin, whose ashes the family laid to rest under a gingko tree planted especially for them. An unusual and yet loving presentation. The two, aunt and uncle, depicted as astronauts, floating, without recognizable faces, yet delicately glowing, can thus evoke the idea that they are always with their loved ones. Somewhere out there, in a place beyond our imagination ....

True to detail, special and yet somehow similar, they show the artist's personal development. Viewers are given the opportunity to immerse themselves in Stefan's world of art and share in his artistic development. To recognize how intuition and attention to detail merge and offer insight into the painter's artistic core. Experimenting with different styles and mediums, he not only explores his own identity, but also offers the inclined viewer access to multiple emotions and expressions of human beings. In this way, people who take a moment to look at these multifaceted faces can be inspired to make their own experiences with human emotions and, ideally, to better recognize their own I and understand its flexibility.

He is one of the founding members of the Ma'Claim Crew. His works are photorealistic and depict the power of movement through the representation of hands. Hands in many variations and connections or touches. Having started painting in 1995, Chase Maclaim has exhibited his work in more than 20 countries. In these countries, he leaves behind his very personal, powerful handshake. His corresponding hands leave the impression that movement and at the same time unity are symbolized by these very hands. Chase wants this interference to be perceived not only on a physical level, but also in the social and political sphere. He uses these hand gestures, which are understood by everyone, to clarify his intentions. It is often the gesture that says more than 1000 words. His hands, or rather his hand gesture for Krefeld, are borrowed from sign language and, if you look at these hands from top to bottom, stand for the term "home". He sees the uniqueness of hands, hands that connect people. With this campaign, he wants to draw attention to the limitations of physically impaired citizens. He once painted a wheelchair user looking down at passers-by. After this gesture was positively received by the wheelchair user, he really became aware of the relevance of this topic. I perceive this description as a change of perspective, a change in the levels on which wheelchair users and people on foot move. While writing these lines, I had to think about it for a while, just leave this little report as it was and took another look at his Instagram account under this premise. It's worth it, take a look :-) (... ) Quellen: URBAN Nation , streetartcities.com Krefeld im Oktober 2023 Info Urban Art Gallery Krfeld 2023 Weiter Info weiter lesen Some of the artists are old acquaintances who have already taken part in previous projects. Others are newcomers who have come to beautify the former silk city of Krefeld. This year, the focus was on large areas that are suitable for providing residents and visitors to the city with new perspectives. To this end, citizens submitted proposals for areas to the collective betont.es in advance. The proposed areas were checked for their suitability and then the owners were approached. The owners, who in my opinion have experienced great added value for their properties as a result of this campaign. Despite the supposedly summery season, the artists and their teams had to contend with adverse, i.e. wet, conditions from time to time. However, during my photo tours in glorious weather after the end of the campaign, there was no sign of this. On the contrary, I sometimes had to contend with a little too much sun in front of the lens. Since 20 artists have created a lot of art and I want to treat each subject with a certain amount of care, I will upload the pictures here one by one, without taking into account the date of creation, with a little background information. Contrary to my original plan to upload all the pictures in one gallery, I have decided to create a separate section for each artist for a better overview, which can then be selected individually in the menu. As I sometimes find simply taking photographs too boring and many other photographers do the same, I sometimes allow myself to interpret the images myself. This is actually very much in the spirit of urban art, namely interpreting it according to your own ideas. Just let the pictures have an effect on you. I have linked the Instagram accounts under the artist's name. Finally, a note on copyright.
