# Abstract Graffiti: Morten Andersen in Paris

*Art Show* | A few weeks ago I met up with famous abstract graffiti artist **Morten Andersen** in his studio in Berlin for [a small shooting](/studio-visit-morten-andersen-in-berlin/). Back then he was preparing artworks for two different exhibitions. One was the [collaboration show together with **Base23**](/base23-morten-andersen-hell-hounds/) which already took place in Cologne. The other is his first solo-show in France which will open its doors this Friday at [Galerie Itinerrance](http://www.itinerrance.fr) in Paris.

The show, entitled *“Elevated, looking down from a distance”*, includes several new canvas works showing colorful patterns in his unique style...

> “Each of his pieces of art contains a real cosmos. With spray cans and brushes, he creates the color, and with his markers, he weaves a strange network of lines. Transparent glazes combined with stretching lines expands the space to infinity. This outer space hosts a thousand forms, from the solid area rigorously geometric to sudden painting drops, giving all their power to his abstract artworks.
>
> Mixing shades of gray and unexpected colors, the universe of Morten Andersen is a perfect balance between its spontaneous forms and meticulous lines, two ingredients matured during his decade of graffiti, which he kept all the energy.”
> (press release)

I’m pretty sure this exhibition will be a big thing, so make sure to go and visit the opening if you’re in Paris this Friday! If you like to see some first background photos, take a look at [the exhibition’s photo-album](http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150099202981914.273467.593181913).
