RAZOR - COLORS ON STEEL
RAZOR is and remains an exceptional phenomenon when it comes to graffiti on trains - worldwide and across all generations! For more than 30 years now, he has been playing his colourful game - mainly in the yards of his home in northern Germany, but trips across the nation and Europe have also been documented in this book.In every phase of his busy career, he has managed to stand out from the great mass of writers and to constantly raise the bar in terms of quality.The output of his first two decades was still to be found in classic stylewriting, but in recent years he has expanded his repertoire to include conceptual works such as his ICE project.RAZOR - COLORS ON STEEL is structured like a blackbook and has a very personal character. He himself opens the book with the following words:"Let's start a blackbook session! Take your time, sit back and enjoy. I'll show you my blackbook with my works from back in the days when it all began in 1990. It all started first at the end of the 1980s when I was infected by a virus called graffiti. From that point on I did graffiti wherever I wanted to and whenever I wanted to. I'll show you my photos and I will tell you lots of stories, some crazy, some funny and with all those little details and in the same manner, like I would tell them to my friends."The book was already self-published in 2017 and is now coming to graffiti shops for the first time via the third and expanded edition. RAZOR ist und bleibt eine Ausnahmeerscheinung, wenn es um Graffiti auf Zügen geht - und zwar weltweit und über alle Generationen hinweg! Seit nun mehr über 30 Jahren treibt er sein buntes Spiel - vornehmlich in den Yards seiner Heimat Norddeutschland, aber auch Reisen durch die Nation und Europa sind dokumentiert.In jeder Phase seiner umtriebigen Karriere hat er es geschafft, aus der großen Masse an Writern herauszustechen und in Sachen Qualität die Messlatte stetig weiter nach oben zu entwickeln.Der Output seiner ersten beiden Jahrzehnte war dabei noch im klassischen Stylewriting zu verorten, in den letzten Jahren hat er sein Repertoire jedoch noch um konzeptionelle Arbeiten wie sein ICE-Projekt erweitert.RAZOR - COLORS ON STEEL ist dabei wie ein Blackbook aufgebaut und hat einen sehr persönlichen Character. Er selbst eröffnet das Buch mit den folgenden Worten:"Let's start a blackbook session! Take your time, sit back and enjoy. I'll show you my blackbook with my works from back in the days when it all began in 1990. It all started first at the end of the 1980s when I was infected by a virus called graffiti. From that point on I did graffiti wherever I wanted to and whenever I wanted to. I'll show you my photos and I will tell you lots of stories, some crazy, some funny and with all those little details and in the same manner, like I would tell them to my friends."Das Buch ist bereits 2017 im Eigenverlag erschienen und kommt nun über die dritte und erweiterte Auflage erstmalig in den Graffiti-Szene-Handel.
