Wallz Pilsen Street Art Festival: "Dutch artist Rutger Termohlen has been involved in graffiti, street art and tattoos since the early nineties. The style of tattooing, early graffiti creation and artistic education are strongly reflected in his current street-art work. One of the key motives for the painter is society. He often attributes human qualities to animals, making them into a kind of metaphor for man, but he also tries to find original animal naturalness. Building on his graffiti past, the artist usually works quickly, intuitively, without sketches, which means a certain risk, which, however, gives the resulting work an extraordinary pictorial quality.
Rutger was nominated for the WALLZ festival by the city of Breda and the local Blind Walls Gallery. He came to Pilsen with his brother Kevin, who helped him create an amazing painting on the facade of a private house, the main motif of which is the face of a famous American actress. He called the painting Little Wing after his favourite Jimi Hendrix song. Against the background of the phrase „forget about everyday life“, which according to the artist characterizes his entire work, he tries to embody dreamlike journeys in his paintings, in which the viewer, detached from the daily routine and everyday life, can create his own story. At the location in the Pilsen area called Petrohrad, he felt a certain need for escape, which is symbolized by the path leading out of the city into the unknown and adventurous world behind the painting."
