Baotian scooter tagged by Stohead

Born in 1973 in Schwäbisch Hall, in southern Germany, STOHEAD discovered graffiti at the age of 14 in the form of tags and old-school pieces painted on the walls of his town. From then on, graffiti became an integral part of his life. He started painting in 1989, moved to Hamburg, and joined the “Getting Up” collective, which he co-founded with Daim, Tasek and Daddy Cool. Together, they would create some of the largest murals ever painted in Europe.

The strength of the artist’s work lies in his contemporary calligraphy and “Decomposition” style. His stylized letters, distinctive calligraphy and drips are the main elements of his work, along with the messages and texts, as well as the rap and punk imagery that shaped his adolescence. Today, Stohead lives in Berlin, where he works as a painter and sculptor.
