ERICK's design of the six-storey building in Gartenstraße picks up on the "Weserspitze" street intersection just a few hundred metres away. In the image created with spray cans and façade paint, the Wesertor district is presented as a lively and dynamic neighbourhood. Although the street scene shown here has some site-specific details, it could also take place in many other places in the world. "Suburban trains and railway tracks interest graffiti artists all over the world - they carry ideas, people, things - and sometimes art - from place to place," says the street artist about his choice of motif, which thus also echoes his own artistic career.
ERICK was born in 1978 and has lived in Kassel for ten years. In his current works, he is dedicated to human interaction and presents his often comic-like figures mostly in an urban setting. In some cases he also works photorealistically.
