Stencil Graffiti Art: A complex paper cut art

At some point I had the idea to transfer the structure of nylon tights onto surfaces. In the first case I wanted to decorate drawer fronts in this way, which succeeded well at the time. The only drawback was that the spray paint only allowed the tights to be used once. It wasn’t quite until a year later that I used the technique again and came up with the idea of scanning the nylon tights and vectorizing them. This way I created areas and patterns that I could finally transfer to paper.

The largest stencil I created for the artwork Shadowplay, of which I have recorded the process in a video.

„Streetart“: Inspired by an old road marking

The series Ghost is created through a process that I use sometimes. A screenshot from of a photo blog with nudes and fashion images provided the basis. By vectorizing, the shadows and areas are reduced and thus disturbed. Nothing of the person is recognizable anymore. Then the mesh structure is added and the base is adjusted. Finally, the process of cutting out using the graphic knife takes place.

Inspired by an old road marking in Bonn I created a complex abstract stencil art. I was fascinated by its structure. Weather and tires had left their marks over the time so that a kind of abstract painting has been created.
