STREETVIEW ART MEETING VOL: II

In the summer of 2024, I met Kreda at the Airport Battle Festival in Kołobrzeg on the Polish Baltic coast. We ended up painting the same wall and instantly clicked.

A year later, I invited him to the fourth edition of Rumsitzenjam. He didn’t need much convincing. Six months after that, I found myself back on the road — this time heading to Szczecin for Streetview Art Meeting Vol. II.

Right after work on Friday, I drove from Dresden straight to Szczecin. Paintings in the trunk, crawling through Berlin’s rush-hour traffic, and arriving just minutes before the exhibition opening. I dropped off the works at Freedom Gallery, rushed to the hotel for a quick shower and change of clothes, then headed straight back. There wasn’t much breathing room.

The evening made the effort worth it. Seeing my work hanging in an exhibition space still feels different every time. As a graffiti artist, you’re usually the one being watched while painting. What rarely happens is stepping back and observing how people respond to the finished piece.

The next morning, it was time for scaffolding instead of gallery walls. A bridge pillar, ten meters high, three meters wide, two days to make it happen. The piece: Susi as a human hunting trophy.

The scale was bigger than anything I had painted solo within such a tight timeframe. So it came down to focus, long hours, and pushing through two intense days. It was close.

The final lines went up Sunday night under floodlights. Now Susi stands there in her cowboy hat, looking down at the people passing by.
