Of course I visited the opening and took some shots of the paintings, including a lot of drips, colors, paint and kitsch, but I’m still unsure what to think about that exhibition... I talked to some people and asked them what they think about Robbo’s paintings and stencil artworks and one of them told me that the whole exhibition is maybe a big fake. Although it’s not the Anti-Banksy exhibition I’d expected, Robbo may wants to show how easy (and in that way stupid) it is to create street-art-like artworks in his opinion. But who knows?! I haven’t spoken to Robbo, so please [take a look at my photos](http://www.flickr.com/photos/streetart-berlin/sets/72157624947133391/) and make up your own mind.
