“Good afternoon Mr. Müller, would you like to paint our harbor?”
What a question. Less than two months later, I’m standing on the pier in Dun Laoghaire, planning the first steps for my second large-scale 3D street painting.
The occasion is the Festival Of World Culture. Artists from all over the world who are not exactly mainstream meet here. You won’t find artists like that in a gallery. And this is what usually makes street artists. They withdraw from the gallery business, which reduces competition to a tolerable level and the artists do not have to kneel before anyone. Best conditions for a picture with depth, without much tinsel around it. And that’s what I wanted to paint. A 3D image reduced to the bare essentials that needs no description.
