Wolfgang Krell – Waterresistant 1

Wolfgang Krell is a German street artist who is painting mostly on canvas and walls. He is using a lot of different techniques. Wolfgang Krell works on large scale surfaces with acrylic, spray cans, charcoal and brushes.

He was born in Dortmund, Germany. From 2001 to 2003 Wolfgang Krell has completed a further education for art teachers in the University of Applied Sciences in Dortmund.

Krell has his roots in the graffiti art. He produces his first pieces of art in 1983. Since those days he has explored the possibilities of the material spray paint and presented his works in many solo and group exhibitions.
In Wolfgang Krells latest work, he experimented with a mixture of stencils and spray paint, acrylic and pencil. To this day the spray can has remained a loyal companion since the beginning. but they are not his first choice of tools. Influenced by American graffiti in his first works in 1983 he oriented towards realistic painting in 2005. Weapons are a recurring theme in his painting. Beyond a representation of violence, weapons express the color of rebellion in an intellectual game, a metaphor, a provocative revealing.

His credo is to tell stories or just move things into the right light. The stories Krell tells are mostly positive. His dream is “to go around in a little space capsule and spray space satellites, space shuttles and other technologies of the outer space inventory”.
Wolfgang Krell lives and works in Dortmund.
