2010 Hooraa! Here we come!!!
Ich wurde die Tage von Ulli Kreikebaum für die Berliner Zeitung hier in Köln, genauer gesagt im Cafe Hallmackenreuther interviewed. Herraus bekommen ist ein sehr persönlicher EInblick hinter die Kulissen von SEAK. Ein exellentes Pyschogramm.
Bin beim lesen meines Belegexemplars ein paar mal die Gesichtfarbe gewechselt. 😉
Im Online Archiv könnt iher den Artikel auch lesen. Viel Spass!!

Indole Magazine, one of Italys leading Urban Art Publications did a 12 Page feature about SEAK,
aswell as a Interview (English/Italian) about the recent years, and his Style Influence in the Community.

Indole: Your style is so unique and not like much of the graffiti you see or
what people associate with graffiti. What influences your style of artwork?
SEAK: I made my incapilities to my advantages, for example not doing straight crisp lines to get an honest soft roundish stroke in my way of painting.
Basically accepted my personality and my popcultural background as part of my identity, and were honest enough to show it. And mix that with the skills i was really good in. Like doing fadings, playing with light and colours,
I was searching in my own personality for my content. The toys i played with as a kid, all the years playing computer, a bit of biting other rolemodel writers in inthe beginning, and later conciuosly refelecting the zeitgeist/ contempoary vibe of the society i and we were living in.
Indole: When you were young did you see yourself as being an artist when you
got older or did you have other aspirations?
SEAK: I guess i valued my creative output with the same importance like for example an maurizio cattelan does too. I just had different names for it. Instead of using the word „visual language“ i would have used the word „style“, to give you a very easy example.
NRW is with no doubt one of the hotspots in the European graffiti scene, it is also the home base of the well known CNS crew (www.cnskillz.com) that includes of some of the most brilliant writers such as ATEONE, NECK, MORITZ, MERIC, EFAS, french artists SCIEN & Miss KLOR and last but not least SEAK. Especially Seak who has a style of his own has made himself a name in the recent years.
From the outside his pieces seem to resemble organic machinery, living space objects or cyber organism, but Seak says that there is more to his style. According to him his future style is based on a movement that has a strong aim at the fundaments of graffiti, that is the living being and the genuine nature of letters. But let us start off where it all began.
