The German street art artist Van Ray grew up under the influence of the Parisian \u201cPochoir Movement\u201d during the Eighties. As a result of this early force of this kind of art, which prevalent implicates art as an expression of social criticism in public, he began to express his own view of society with the help of graffiti.<\/span><\/font> <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/font> <\/p>\n

Due to personal maturation and developed abilities to deal with ubiquitous social and political problems of the Western society Van Ray broadened his artistic on hand skills by redeveloping methods like using stencils, stickers, paste-ups and sculptures. This incremental development is also reflected in his public work. On the basis of his so far mastered artistic skills Van Ray was supervised in drawing and painting by the well known Susanne Ristow, this extensive process didn\u2019t prevent him from simultaneous 3D animation and visualization experiments.<\/span><\/font> <\/p>\n


<\/span><\/font> <\/p>\n

As a result of a personal wrap in 2007, accompanied by a movement to Cologne, Van Ray took this opportunity to establish the artist collaboration \u201cfancyroom\u201d which could be seen as an elaborate try to create a symbiosis of design and street art. The results were used by several textile manufactures as part of their products. Van Ray started simultaneously to offer general public access to mainly printed work by exhibitions.<\/span><\/font> <\/p>\n


<\/span><\/font> <\/p>\n

Van Ray’s work reflect a fusion of street art, pop art and contemporary art – retaining the basic elements of his distinctive artistic style without loosing sight of his intended social criticism. His recent work makes use of various techniques, such as aerosol paint, acrylic paint, collage and decollage, on iron sheets, acrylic glass, wooden slats or retro vending machines.<\/span><\/font> <\/p>\n
