Original artwork description:

The idea of the "Urban View" series is simply the style, a urban, street art style. Actually the first part of the series is “Under the Bridge”, even if it has another title. The inspiration for this series was really a bridge – on the way to my earlier day job I drove along the substructure of a bridge every morning. The bridge was always the same old grey ugly bridge, but nearly every day something in the area changed:

Sometimes I spotted camps from homeless persons, sometimes there was a new graffiti, one day there were some square paper paintings placarded overnight. Only a few weeks later a new graffiti covered them. So the idea of the painting “Under the bridge” came up.

This painting "Gardening" is part of the Urban Views series, inspired from urban and street art. During the painting process it turned out to be kind of a flowery painting with the greens and rose tones and the marks in the lower part of the painting that awake feelings of growing plants. But I felt that anyway it should belong to the series, so I called it “gardening” according to some projects in cities that try to bring back nature into cities (one of those projects is nearby our home in Frankfurt).

It is a mixed media work, I used acrylic, charcoal and oil sticks. There is also a collage with craft paper in the bottom part that is nearly completely overpainted.

It is sealed with a matt varnish (Lascaux with UV protection) and is signed and dated on the back.

A professional hanger is already mounted, so the painting is ready to hang and you just need a nail.
