CUTTING EDGE
Marc C. Woehr | THEO LOPEZ
Until 16th of June we show the exhibition “Cutting Edge” with works by Marc C. Woehr and Theo Lopez. We are thus presenting two more artists who were also involved in the Pretty Wall Project last year. Both artists are located in graphic abstraction. The title Cutting Edge refers on the one hand to the artistic process and on the other hand to the constant development with which both Marc C. Woehr and Theo Lopez reinterpret graffiti and interweave it with ideas of Informel, Bauhaus, Dada and Abstract Expressionism.

on display in "Cutting Edge" show at Pretty Portal until 15th of June
Since he started as a graffiti artist in the 1980s, Marc C. Woehr has come a long way and developed an impressive artistic freedom. Like all street artists, he began with simple lettering, following on with large images several metres long. However, at some point he noticed that this hectic (because forbidden) work performed outdoors at night was no longer sufficient for him. He wanted to increase the element of composition in his work, and decided at short notice to move into a studio and to exchange the rough exterior walls for classical canvases. In the studio, his intensive preoccupation with urban space initially resulted in collages: compositions of photographs and newspaper cut-outs combined with painted elements. These collages too are reminiscent of the 1920s, evoking the Bauhaus and the DADA movement, and already hint at the aesthetics of wood relief.

Wild Style, Dada & abstract Expressionism
In Theo Lopez’s pictures lines are gliding over the canvases. They follow imaginary freeforms, swing in harmonic rhythm, take straight paths to suddenly change their direction. In doing so, they define forms that recall Wild Style graffiti and are inspired by Dadaism and Surrealism. Asked for further influences, Theo Lopez calls the Russian Constructivists, and the abstract American expressionism.
Theo Lopez combines all these directions in works that are attributable to the contemporary art of Graffuturism. In addition to the expressive form-language, his skilful handling of light and shadow and the use of powerful colors, which lend his works a wonderful vitality, are striking.
Théo Lopez is one of the outstanding talents of the French Urban Contemporary scene. He was born in the Paris suburbs in 1989, where he worked and lived until 2020. Since then he is at home in Barcelona

The street as the smallest unit, architecture and the city as a large structure.
Marc C. Woehr started his aesthetic production over twenty years ago on the street. Since then, the street as the smallest unit, architecture and the city as a large structure, as a matrix, have never left him. Marc is working with concepts of Graffiti in a minimalistic way. He boils down style writing to only diagonal straight lines. He separates colors to flat surfaces and layers, adds concepts of architecture and integrates ideas of algorithms.
