Biography
Marc C. Woehr is a German artist born in Stuttgart in 1973, his work belongs to the graffiti movement of the late 80s.
Since his artistic debut more than 20 years ago, Marc C. Woehr has come a long way and now demonstrates a greater artistic freedom. Like many others, he started doing simple tags but little by little, he realized that this stressful night work was not enough for him anymore. He wanted to compose more and decided to take classes in a workshop and to trade the outdoor walls for classic canvases. His intensive analysis of urban space led him to the creation of collages: compositions of photographs and excerpts from newspapers combined with painted parts. He also created paintings of several meters and wooden reliefs.
The work on the streets has influenced his work a lot: architecture and the city as big structures, as matrices, which he has retained since then and are now an integral part of his artistic identity, his wooden reliefs have become his real trademark and the influence of the art of the early 20s gave birth to fresh and very contemporary pieces which have absolutely no relation with his past as a graffiti artist.
