Description

Unlike many of his homies, Der Typ (left) has remained true to style writing. He has been painting classic graffiti for over 25 years. He hasn't changed his name for some time now either. At Atlaswerk, he has painted a classic old-school style based on the design principles of the 1970s. His so-called wildstyle, a letter style within graffiti writing, the individual letters are deformed, twisted and squiggled to such an extent that they are no longer legible to outsiders.

Some1 from Münster also focusses on the letters in his pictures. On the Atlaswerk, he has worked in great detail on the shadows of the letters and numbers in the right-hand half of his style. By using yellow and orange tones in combination with a sky-blue background, Some1 creates strong contrasts in his piece.

The Three Rabbits Window is one of the most famous sights in Paderborn. It has also been realised several times as graffiti. In 2021 Rookie and Ka$h took up the theme in their murals for the Secret City. Tgiht Toon (right) grew up in Paderborn and lives in Bielefeld for several years now.
