East Wasp

Description

Köter is a high-professional style writer from Leipzig. After turning his hobby into a profession a few months ago did he finally end up designing figurative characters by accepting his first commission work. Köter brought a detailed photograph of a wasp with him on the wall of a graveyard. The inspiration for this came from a documentary movie.

A look at Köter's Instagram profile makes it clear that the color palette of his pictures has been greatly reduced in recent years. Many of his graffiti pieces only use one color tone, but are characterized by very fine-grained color gradations from light to dark. The degree of variation in his pictures is strikingly high. 

In addition to the motif, it is primarily the colors that play an important role in the graffiti on the wall at the Ostfriedhof. Since he recently painted with fewer colors, somewhat bright tones were also used in Paderborn.
