The famous female graffiti artist Claudia Walde, AKA MadC, has opened her solo-exhibition at 44309 Gallery in Dortmund, Germany! Entitled Layers, the show presents new works made using spray paint, transparent spray paint, ink, watercolor and acrylic paint.
"Her letters flow into each other and parts of one letter borrow parts
of another. Everything is connected; one part can‘t be without the
other. Thus, her work is a reflection of our modern life where
everything and everyone is connected through the Internet, cell phones,
social networks and the media. The graffiti community has long used all
those channels to stay connected for decades.
For her canvases she is using the same philosophy of connecting single
parts. To create those works, MadC is using spray paint, transparent
spray paint, ink, watercolour, acrylic paint and acrylic markers. She is
painting on canvas as well as carton from spray paint boxes.
Claudia‘s passion for fonts and street art is also visible in her
published work. In 2011, her second book „Street Fonts“ was published by
Thames & Hudson and various other publishers in 5 languages
worldwide. The book shows over 150 alphabets by graffiti and street
artists form around the globe.
Since 1996, when MadC painted her first wall, she was invited to and
has visited more than 35 countries including Sweden, France, USA, United
Kingdom, Lebanon, South Africa, Bolivia, Hawaii, Colombia, Mexico,
Spain, Norway, Poland, Russia and many more."
