Baotian scooter tagged by Stohead

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

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