Some graffiti guys thought that their massive work was more important than mine. So they got it from the wall, threw it away and sprayed their work. I fully understand that work in the open air is risky and can easily be damaged. Fine. But it is something else when “colleagues” get your work from the wall and change it for their work. It became a sort of argument where even local newspaper Leidsch Dagblad paid attention to.
Sometimes I buy an old painting in a thrift store and try to uplift it with a collage. You think you do something new but nearly everything is already done before. I bought this piece changed it a little and nailed in de Herenstraat in Leiden.
Sometimes you start an assemblage and you leave it for half a year in your work place. So sometimes I decide to finish something just for fun and hang it on the street. Here is such an example. Some assemblages and collages at the Stationsweg in Leiden.
