Base23 & Morten Andersen - Hell Hounds from the North

Urban Art Exposition | The two urban artists Base23 and Morten Andersen have some things in common! First, both are Berlin-based artists. Second, both developed a unique and convincing style. Third, both are hell hounds from the north and fourth, both will exhibit at Pretty Portal Gallery in Düsseldorf at the end of this month! Morten Andersen attracted the public attention by using rhythmic forms and expressive, whirling colours. Base23 hypnotized people creating characters, that remind indian totems of the 23. century. The vigorous and graphical pieces of Base 23 build a strong contrast to the abstract works by Morten Andersen.

Graffiti Fine Art: Morten Andersen in Berlin

Graffiti Art Exhibition | The master of flying colors, Morten Andersen will open his first solo-show in Berlin in a few days! No, he’s not a former National Football League kicker, but a high skilled graffiti fine artist from Denmark. He started tagging back in 1989. Since then, his style was more and more influenced by abstract forms, hand styled line work, patterns and fantastic colors… “Since he was a kid - Mortens fascination in colours, forms and shapes and their influence on human feelings lead him to draw and paint. After years of beeing a graffiti artist, he began to work more and more on canvas. With his unseen unique style, Morten is one of these rarely seen artist who passed the evolutionary step from Graffiti to fine art with flying colours. With his work he truly belongs to the selected lists of artists like Futura2000, Boris Tellegen or José Parla. With his artworks Morten is composing the soundtrack of our time.” (intoxicated-demons.com) ...
