About the Artist
A founding member of the renowned East-German MaClaim Crew, Case aka Andreas von Chrzanowski has been a photorealism pioneer for over two decades. He primarily uses the medium of spray paint to embrace the power of movement through the universality of hands. “Power” and “movement” have individually played key roles in the backbone of his German roots. It’s encouraged him to communicate a strong message of unity by overlaying the hands. However, this overlaying “movement” is not just the physical body movement or political movement, its broad context allows the viewer to reflect and visualize the remaining story. Having traveled to over 20 countries he has literally left fingerprints in each, using hand gestures as a language that speaks to all.
